Happy Blog Action Day 2007! It wasn't so long ago that being green was regarded as a fringe fad.
"Greenies" were disparaged as being latter day hippies, out of touch with the modern world and progress. As Kermit said "It's not easy being greeen."
Taking Green Seriously At Last
Fast forward twenty years, and here we are finally taking being green seriously. Of course, we needed evidence to convince us, and fair enough too.
Scientific reports, news of changing weather patterns, melting ice caps and rainforests felled were one thing.
An Inconvenient Truth
But when we saw movie screen size visuals in Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, it finally made us stop and take notice. Maybe, because it all seemed suddenly more real and urgent.
Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize
Despite detractors calling Gore's film a "shockumentary", the environment issue has been given a status of such global importance that Al Gore and a team of scientists were awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
Al Gore was lauded as the person who has done the most to get the environment onto the political agenda, and making it an issue that people are talking about and demanding action on.
Green Business
What about you? What are you doing in your small business to help the environment? Is your business green enough? Green business makes sound business sense.
Kermit would have been proud. Maybe being green is easier than we thought. Every little bit helps. Blog Action Day 2007 is a great time to get started.
