#Repost @powered.by.plants (@get_repost) ・・・ Repost @onegreenplanet Robin White of the Virginia Institute of Technology and Mary Beth Hall of the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Centre created statistical models showing what would happen if farmed animals were removed and the effects it would have on greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. The study posits that a nation of 320 million people who only ate a plant-based diet would REDUCE greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by about 28 percent. And that’s not all, total food production would actually INCREASE by about 23 percent, making grains and legumes widely available since land used to grow animal feed would instead be used to grow food for people. To put that in context, around 47 percent of soy and 60 percent of corn grown in the U.S. is fed to livestock – if all of those resources were allocated to people, we could make a serious dent in domestic hunger statistics. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for the entire U.S. to eat plant-based foods to make a difference. You can start eating for the planet by doing nothing more than choosing a delicious plant-based meal over one laden with animal products. If you look at it from a personal perspective, you can cut your own carbon footprint in half just by leaving meat off your plate for one year. (Plus save a lot of water, redirect grain for people to eat, and help protect endangered species…) #eatfortheplanet #imagreenmonster #vegansofig #veganfood #Vegan #veganshare #plantbased #plantpower #healthy #eatclean #food #favorite #foodpics #plantbased #plantpower #veg #green #sustainable #sustainableliving #livegreen #greenisthenewblack #environment #environmentalism #savetheenvironment #ecofriendly #futureoffood #meetyourmeat #worldpositive #climatechange #climatechangeisreal (at New Bedford, Massachusetts)

Coastal dilettantes and venture capital

Chamath Palihapitiya -- founder and CEO of a VC firm called Social Capital -- recently penned an op-ed in The Information called: “The Sunk Cost Fallacy and the Future of Silicon Valley.”

Chamath is one of the most outspoken voices in Silicon Valley and is openly critical about the way the industry generally functions today. Here are two excerpts from his op-ed piece:

“Chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes and heart disease are ravaging much of the U.S. and the world. Automation is eliminating the jobs of millions of well-meaning, law-abiding men and women. Weather patterns are increasingly unpredictable, disrupting water and food supplies and displacing millions of people. But despite this trail of breadcrumbs of big problems and big markets, we still find it difficult to fund potentially big solutions. Instead, we keep doubling down on the easy things.”  

“Easy short-term growth is now so highly valued in Silicon Valley that we often overlook technical innovation, sustainable long-term growth and meaningful progress in markets that matter. Every week adds to the corpus of press releases from companies with quick, fleeting growth overcapitalized beyond rationalization. And after too many years of this, Silicon Valley is now typecast as a monoculture of coastal dilettantes who float from one meaningless endeavor to another, tone deaf to real problems.”

Social Capital was founded in response to these criticisms. Their mission is to improve society by using technology to solve big problems -- problems like the ones mentioned above.

Another firm with a similar mission is Obvious Ventures. They call what they do #worldpositive investing. Their goal is to only fund companies that deliver social and environmental benefits along with every dollar earned.

It’s interesting to think about how capital gets allocated and whether or not it will result in meaningful benefits to the world. Because this is not just about venture capital. You could substitute venture capital for many other asset classes and ask similar questions.
