You should knit blankets out of recycled magazines. :D

You should start a squirrel powered energy company. You can get a big windmill but put tubes on it instead of wings. Then you can coerce squirrels to run up and down the proper tubes to generate electricity on a massive scale.

You could also invent a type of battery acid that is also safe to drink. That way you can just drink your car batteries when they no longer hold a charge.

:D

I think you are going to have to define what green industry is. Seems to have several different meaning to different groups of people.

Yeah man green is not really an industry. Almost any industry can have a green segment or product offering.

Green energy for instance. I offer it along side regular energy. No one buys it cause its more expensive but I have it available.

Yes, please clarify what industry you are looking at.

The company I work for provides industrial gearboxes to many different 'green' industries. Primarily wind and coal fired power plants (clean coal), but many others as well.

I suppose you could always invent a anti gas pill for cows. This way I can chow down on a porterhouse and not worry that my carbon footprint went up beyond what my 7 passenger V8 SUV that I use as my daily driver gets me. :D

Sorry for the confusion friends, for the green industry, i mean the industries related to renewable energy (eg. solar, wind, geothermal power) or energy efficiency (eg. smart grid) or soil,water,wildlife conservation or waste management/treatment or recycling

hope this clears this up!

ps: i'm still in need of advice from people with some experience in these field

Your question is waaaay to vague. Advice on what, exacty? You haven't formulated a thesis or plan to solicit feedback. I have experience in the field, so what. Your question could very well be one of very general business and thus benefit from a wider audience.

My advice to you is to formulate your plan first then work on your presentation and written communication skills. There is a reason you haven't received feedback yet...
