Things change so fast in the investment community, this year's darlings can end up in next year's dead pool, so this is indeed quite common.

“Saying green and actually being green are two different things, and consumers are beginning to ask a lot of questions about that.”

Very true, and the regulators seem to be working on regulating what and who can claim it's “green.”

That's interesting – I haven't really thought of the green movement as a fad before. But it is interesting and somewhat concerning to hear that green ventures are having some difficulty lately.

Thank you for this information. I'd never heard of recycled carpet before, so that surprised me. The one thing about green, though. Consumers are eager for green, but at the same time, I'm sensing some skepticism about companies and products.

I am very much positive on this, and i quote “The Cleantech Angel Network of Networks hopes to close the gap created by the exodus of VCs from this space. The group offers as much as US$40 million in investment capital and will provide a central location for much-needed early-stage funds. Its so obvious on their strategies that it will really be a success.
