The Rockefeller family that thanks to fossil fuels he has his great fortune, recently announced to the BBC its decision to switch its investments to renewable energy.
The Rockefellers Brothers Fund is being participant in a coalition of philanthropists which is promising to bring $ 50000 billion in fossil fuel assets to renewables.
It is not that their intentions are the health of the planet, rather they are economicalSince they move for money and as these new energies will need platforms, they will be there to continue with their fortune that has made them famous throughout the world.
The announcement was made this Monday, just one day before the 2014 Climate Summit. More than 640 individuals and 180 institutions have participated in the coalition and it is part of the global initiative called Global Divest-Invest, which began on various university campuses years ago.
Stephen Heintz, director of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, said this move from fossil fuels would be in line with the oil magnate's own wishes John D Rockefeller.
«We are convinced that if he were alive today, as the crafty businessman that he was, would be moving its assets from fossil fuels to invest in clean and renewable energy«Said Mr Heintz. Continue with «there is imperative morality to preserve a healthy planet«, Said this time Valerie Rockefeller Wayne, the great-great-granddaughter of Mr Rockefeller.
Before the Climate Summit, Ban Ki-moon, hopes that the leaders of all countries can achieve real progress to reach an agreement that is signed by all at the end of 2015.
Hopefully it's not too late and finally decide to make a real change to this issue that has more and more people around the world concerned and that large corporations and large fortunes are finally reaching another thought.
How can I contact the Rockefeller family, since I am part of an environmental conservation effort, we have formed a Biosphere Reserve Management Committee, in the Natural Reserve known as Apaneca-Ilamatepec, which is a complex of Protected Natural Areas, includes more than 9 different ecosystems such as lakes, lagoons (RAMSAR Sites), cloud forest, dry forest, vegetation on rock, coffee plantations, mixed cropping systems, chaparral, cypresses, páramo forest, among others. In addition to having different productive activities, indigenous groups or native peoples, social organizations, pre-Columbian, colonial and current culture, communities of extreme poverty, landscapes and biological corridors, on which the main mangroves of El Salvador depend in the lower zone, and We have enough organization to protect and conserve biotic and abiotic resources (all natural resources), we are part of the Management Committee of the Apaneca-Ilamatepec Biosphere Reserve, we are the main Biosphere Reserve in the country, since We have the greatest national wealth and we are the only lung in El Salvador, since we have more than 59,000 hectares of forests with continuous connectivity, there is not only wealth but also threats to nature, so it is urgent to provide adequate management by providing alternatives to the communities that live in the core and influence areas of the Natural Reserve.
