New York’s Tech Valley – Not As Green As It Could Be.

Where the World Innovates

 The State of New York has spent over $13 billion invested and growing, New York’s Tech Valley.  This Tech Valley is located in eastern, upstate New York, is the premier location for innovative, high technology companies. As a global leader in high-technology research and development, Tech Valley produces a world-class workforce, shovel ready sites and competitive incentives to ensure a company’s success. With breathtaking scenic beauty, cultural heritage, and exciting recreational opportunities, Tech Valley is a rich and diverse region for quality living.

This link will take you to the map of the State of New York and all the Tech centers.  While most of it is in the Albany area, they are located Statewide and none of them are Green.

While $13 billion has been invested, there is a need to utilize more funding for green companies.  These companies are one of the leading aspects of the increase in our GDP according to the recent Green Jobs report released by the Federal government.

Therefore, let’s get serious and let’s get green!

Have greener sex this Earth Day and up to $10K will go to Carbonfund.org to celebrate.

“Ecommando” is an action packed Web series that follows Ex-Navy Seal and environmentally clueless Leon Green (Jason Nash, star of Atom.com’s “The Shaman” and “Jason Nash Is Married”).

Armed with his perma-stoned car, Bro (voiced by David Cross, “Arrested Development”), the duo becomes “the newest environmental disaster.” Can Leon get over his tough guy attitude long enough to take on the bad guys and save the day?

Joe Veilleux doesn’t view himself as an environmentalist, but he understands how his actions might paint him with that brush. “I’m not an environmentalist,” said Veilleux, general manager of the U.S. operations of natural health ingredient manufacturer Euromed. “I’m a pragmatist. There’s a difference. A lot of environmentalists have characterized their cause as one that pits them directly against corporate America. I’m part of corporate America, but I also recognize the debt I owe to the environment and want to do my fair share to protect it. In the long run, it’s just good for business and there are plenty of examples throughout history of how our environment is one of our most valuable natural resources.” Veilleux’s company is partner with the Everglades Foundation in a campaign dubbed Glade-iator (www.glade-iator.org), which is a model of the public-private partnership Veilleux believes is good for business.
