Green Business

I have to commend a few really outstanding efforts to bring our attention to some very big sustainability issues. CNBC is promoting an in-depth look at the garbage industry, which seems more than timely and important.

Earning the right to be a Certified Green Consultant does not come from a simple desire to make a difference. The Green revolution has many pieces but few people that can put the whole puzzle together.

The Green Business League is arguably the best and most reliable Green Business Certification in the country. We have over 300 GBL Certified Green Consultants nationwide providing guidance to local businesses and promoting network participation.

While popular in Europe, the International Standards Organization (ISO) is lesser known in the United States. One of the common questions encountered is how does ISO work and isn’t the ISO 14000 a Green certification.

The United States 30 years ago was #1 in graduation rates, now we are #18. We have states like New York, South Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, Ohio and Michigan with some of the lowest graduation rates, especially amongst African American males.

It’s a great idea to construct a Green building, but who has the money in this economy? What happens if you don’t have a building in construction? Doesn’t it seem as though the vast majority of businesses are frankly left out of the process.

It always happens that we get calls just a week after a major class from a person seeking to attend the Green Consulting classes. This is a powerful and exciting training course that will propel any excited person into a career.

The die is already cast, and it is only a matter of when (not if) your business will Go Green. There is also a question which program will provide that Green certification. The Global GHG Climate Initiative is quietly setting the expectations.

Yes, Green is big; and it is certain the next business tidal wave. The turmoil in the waters is a confusion of purpose and a vacuum of solutions that every astute business person should realize is a latent opportunity.

Catching a wave is better than paddling ashore. In many ways, business is about opportunity as well as good planning. So, the concept of being “First” shows leadership, business prowess, and a savvy understanding of the market.
