Keeping the Eco-Conscious High in the U.S.
February 5, 2009
The notion of going green can often be pushed down the priority list or “back burner” as the saying goes, especially when larger economic troubles are looming. As many cities and businesses look to reduce costs and create additional revenue streams, recycling and other green initiatives have short- and long-term advantages.
For example, Paul Johnson wrote a recent piece in The Boston Globe entitled, “Going green doesn’t have to mean going broke.” To read the entire article, click here.
Paul writes how The Department of Energy Resources recently outlined the Green Communities Act at the Smart Growth, Smart Energy conference in Boston. The Green Communities Act aids cities and towns by saving energy in city halls, firehouses and schools, while making their own energy from renewable sources.
Help us continue to keep the eco-conscious top-of-mind and top of the priority list for elected officials, business leaders and consumers worldwide. And, don’t forget to share your thoughts and ideas by clicking on the “Comment” link below. We welcome your input.
