Investing in something has the meaning that you get something back in return for your money. If you purchase a hybrid car what you get in return is the intangible profit of a less polluted atmosphere.
I think we should consider ourselves not just as consumers who buy something but as consumers who choose to buy something over something else because we know this purchase is a kind of investment and support for new technologies that are more environment-friendly over others.
For example, by choosing to buy a hybrid car over a conventional one you indirectly invest in the research behind energy-saving new technologies. You support corporate profits that help fund research. Profits can then help raise more money from investors.
When it comes to buying your next car for example, would you consider purchasing a hybrid car over a conventional one as a means to invest and support hybrid technologies? Would you ever think of yourself as a consumer and an investor at the same time?
Or would you only think of yourself just as consumer who saves money on gasoline or as driver of a fancy and fast car? |

Set up a business that gives instant product rebates to consumers. For example, if someone buys an item with a $50 rebate, the business would give the consumer a $25 instant rebate, eliminating the wait time of 8 to 12 weeks and the paperwork that would have to be submitted... |

What you do is you enter somebody else's property without their permission, and plant seeds. Maybe put daffodils in an unloved corner owned by the electricity company, or turn a dis-used lot into an allotment for the year... |
