Business leaders gathered at a lush, privately owned island resort in the Caribbean to talk about business and investment plans with a focus on environmental friendliness. Environmental considerations are quickly becoming a greater part of business plans as a result of consumer pressure and rising oil prices. Representatives from firms such as JP Morgan Chase, Google, and Wikipedia focused on the profitability of green technology. While in the past the dreams of slick, environmentally friendly technology rapidly taking over old forms polluting technology have not come to fruition, these business leaders were hopeful because of the new economic climate. Rising oil prices and the concern over global warming are making green technology profitable. Those assembled on the island discussed how to save the world and get rich doing it.
