17 of Top 100 Richest Green People from China
Friday, March 13, 2009 8:48The recently published Green Rich List the the Times Online puts forward 100 names of people who are rich and “green”:
The Green List has unearthed 100 tycoons or wealthy families worth £200m or more who have made either serious investments in green technology and businesses or hefty financial commitments to environmental causes. In total, the Green 100 are worth nearly £267 billion.
Where I found this list interesting is that many of the Chinese who are mentioned are not mentioned because of their investments, but because they are almost all involved in solar power.

There seems sth wrong with the entry 90, “Zhang Weihua Solar power”
The company’s business is industrial recycling and the leader’s name is Zhang Weiyang.
