Going Green Business Ideas
| |
| Going green business ideas are everywhere on the internet. Some of these are practical for small business while others; not so much. There are steps any business can take to make their practices "more green" and help out the environment as well as improve your company's image.
Go with "green" cleaning products. Even if you use a cleaning service, ask them about the possibility of green cleaning products being used in the cleaning of your business. If your service does not have this option available, see about a discount and provide your own.

A few Green truths
| |
| Those of you investing in green businesses are in good company. Even as skittish investors yanked an estimated $225 billion from stock funds last year, roughly $1.5 billion flowed into green funds during that same time, according to a Smart Money article by Elizabeth O’Brien entitled; “10 Things Green Companies Won’t Tell You.”

Are you a Red, Blue, Yellow or Green Personality Type
| |
| Our personalities can be divided into colours. Each colour has particular traits, and it is important for you to understand these traits. Not only will it help you to psychologically understand the person better, but it will aid how you interact with them also. If you know how to get the best out of a person, you will see great results, and better still if you recognise what colour YOU are, you are able to advise people how to get the best out of you, your likes and dislikes, your strengths and your weaknesses. |

How Do I Start A Going Green Business?
| |
| The recently coined term, “going green”, has become a well-known household expression in the past few years. Essentially, going green means adapting your lifestyle in an attempt to do as little damage as possible to the environment. Homes have begun going green by doing things like having compost boxes so there is less garbage in the landfills. So, we know the basics behind how an individual goes green, but many companies or entrepreneurs have started to ask themselves: how do I start a going green business? Getting a whole business to go green is a little more difficult and definitely requires more work in order for it to actually be effective. A greener workplace involves everyone in the company, not just an individual effort. |

GHG Emissions Reporting for Dummies
| |
| If companies want to say they are "green", then they need to document their GHG inventory among other environmental performance measures (how much they recycled, etc.). In addition to "backing up" their marketing claims, if new legislation affects them- they will be in a better position to manage GHG emissions. Many of my clients have embraced "green" reporting because their customers are buying "green" products and services over "non-green" companies. |

Going Green = saving money
| |
| More and more we get mail with this statement: "I Want to Be Seen in Green"
Nowadays “Going Green” improves public perception, many companies think: “It is just good business…”
Many of the big companies understand this metric - green is "in" and it is not a color that is going to go out of style. This change of view comes from new workers, from new entrepreneurs, just having finished schools and universities. US education places are the greenest places in the United States. Green is cool in school today. More and more of former students are becoming new customers, but customers with new-fashioned views, views their fathers would never have thought about.
So, what’s all the fuzz about going green? Can GREEN bring in some money?
