Compound Interest : Interest added to the original principal and its accumulated interest. Even if an asset’s price is too high or too low, it eventually converges to the market average . In fact, even with significant price volatility , it is only a matter of time before it aligns with the market average. However, there are occasions where it surpasses this average, and that’s when compounding becomes influential. Market prices reflect the actions of participants and the economic environment affecting their prices. Although sometimes distorted, they eventually revert to prices implicitly agreed upon by participants. But compound interest is a system specifically designed to outperform this market average. Interest can be monetary, but it can also be other economic effects or energy . By understanding and harnessing the power of compound interest , we can gain a significant advantage in our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Eco bags are not eco-friendly. In 2007, the eco-bags, which British designer Anya Hindmarch printed, “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” on canvas, sold out 20,000 copies in 30 minutes at a limited edition price of 5 pounds. The project reduced the use of plastic bags by 58% over the next two years in Britain. However, a survey by the British Environment Agency found that consumers used paper bags at least 3 times more to have less environmental impact than plastic bags and used eco bags 131 times more to help protect the environment. In 2018, Denmark also announced a study that indicated people used plastic bags at least 37 times, paper bags 43 times, and eco bags 7,100 times before being discarded to recover from pollution. Yes, the facts that people believe have cheated us all. Materials and consumption are necessary, but people belatedly realized that environmental protection should also consider product use cycles and production. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
