Hi There !

Are there venture capital firms that specialize in funding environmental companies?

A 5-star answer would be a list of 10 such companies.  A longer list
could lead to a tip.  Please note:

Very Valuable--------VC firms which only do Enviro
Somewhat Valuable----VC firms that occasionally do Enviro
Not Valuable/Poopy---List of general VC firms

All comments greatly appreciated !

P.S.   If possible, please complete this by Thursday at 8 AM (Pacific
Standard Time).  Thanks a million !
