Big Green Business

Going green business is proving to be BIG business. It is not something that is a fleeting fancy but rather it is going mainstream. Before, true green advocates did not worry if they have to pay a premium for green products but as these products go mainstream and reach a lot of consumers, they will be competing head on with non-green products. By then these products are being patronized not only because they are green but because they are more efficient and save money. One perfect example is the compact fluorescent light which is very affordable and consumes less electricity.

Another factor that would make green business BIG is the push that government will be doing. Governments will support legislation for the growth of green industries and can mandate compliance to using earth-friendly things and encouraging healthy practices like waste segregation, organic farming, blending of biofuels to petroleum-based fuels.

Going green transcends borders. Another country's garbage should not be exported to another one. One will not be successful in doing it alone. It needs the concerted effort of everyone to make it work.
