Investopedia explains 'Green Tech'

Green tech may be a stated goal of a business segment within a large company, or the focused mission statement of a smaller startup firm. It can cover anything from recycled product packaging to longer-lasting light bulbs and alternative energy production.  

Specialized investment funds known as "green funds" seek out publicly traded leaders in the green tech movement for their investment dollars. In addition, many socially conscious investors may choose to only invest in companies that are environmentally friendly or have pledged to become so.
