Below is a video from CNN on what Shengchang Bioenergy in China is doing with peanut shells, tree bark and dead corn stalks to create home heating material. Not only do they process the peanut shells but they also manufacture the furnace used to burn the low-cost material. Much of China still uses coal to heat homes. This is a greener and less-expensive alternative plus it is paying the local farmers. They figured out how to make a profit out of what others might consider garbage.
From what I can tell, a company such as this would make a great investment and is a good application of the law of attraction. It is one way to make the world more eco-friendly, decrease poverty, all while making a profit. The gains from such an investment could be put into another company doing similar work. This is how I would think the law of attraction would be applied to one's investment strategy.
Please note that this post does not suggest that people start investing in foreign countries instead of their own, but rather that an investment can bring an investor far more than just financial gains. Whatever one's native country is, their local businesses need their support to survive. Finding businesses that function according to one's values brings fulfillment on all levels. As a US citizen, I would like to find more US businesses that adopt practices similar to this Chinese company.
We can compare this strategy to the one the US uses whereby we actually pay farmers to not grow food. It is good that the farmers are being helped, but there may be more effecient ways of doing it. According to the Washington Post (see link at the end of this post) between the years 2000 and 2006, the US government paid farmers 1.3 Billion dollars to not grow food. This artificially keeps the price of food from falling through the floor.
