WindPole Ventures is admirable for more than one reason. Not only does it transmit [wind speed data](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc), it repurposes [old radio towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-pro) to do so. This ingenious recycling of outdated, huge structures that would otherwise stand useless is something that many people should strive to accomplish.

So far, WindPole Ventures spans over 39 countries with over 7000 towers. Chief among the advantages of these towers is the fact that they are dramatically more [cost-effective](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-global) than their more traditional competitors -- something many organizations and companies are bound to appreciate.
