By Rachel Owen
​Clothing that is hardly worn and rarely recycled represents a global opportunity worth $500 billion a year. As customers call for the fashion industry to clean up its act, new entrants and existing players are causing major disruption in this fast-moving sector.

Climate Catastrophe – is Capitalism to Blame?

11/6/2019

 
by Nick Lyth, CEO and Founder of Green Angel Sydicate

​Capitalism is blamed for the climate crisis by many who know most about it.  One article in the Guardian ran the headline: Ending climate change requires the end of capitalism. Have we got the stomach for it?  Naomi Klein led on a similar theme: Capitalism Killed Our Climate Momentum, Not “Human Nature”. Bloomberg attempts to argue the opposite position, but accepts that: “It has become fashionable on social media and in certain publications to argue that capitalism is killing the planet. Even renowned investor Jeremy Grantham, hardly a radical, made that assertion last year.” ​​But is capitalism really to blame?

September 2019 pitch event review

9/30/2019

 
​Our 26th September pitch event at Urban Innovation Centre in Clerkenwell, London, was packed with more than 90 attendees and a fantastic line-up of five companies. The companies represented very different sectors, from buildings to industry to electric vehicles to online second-hand shopping. However, all of them had not only a very strong investment case but also a very clear contribution to make to solving the climate crisis – so all were perfectly aligned with Green Angel Syndicate’s objectives:
​
  • IndiNature – 100% plant-based home insulation system;
  • Coomtech – Energy efficient drying technology for bulk materials;
  • Ventive – Naturally intelligent ventilation for new buildings;
  • Flexible Power Systems – Enabling the optimal deployment of electric vehicle fleets;
  • Thrift+ – Innovative circular economy model for the second-hand clothes.

Can Climate Change you 2?

6/7/2019

Can climate change you?  It can.  It will.  It already is.  Ask yourself what choices you are now making for food, transport, clothes, packaging, recycling, and you will see what I mean.

But we are now being asked to contemplate a different scale of change.  Since the news emerged at the end of last year, in the IPCC Report and at COP 24 in Katowice, that we have already reached 1.5 and are almost certain to breach the long-held red line of 2 degrees increase in global temperature, we have been introduced to a new note of fear.
