Glad to be "green"

Responding to the groundswell of "green practices" in business, we`ve created a brand new forum category dedicated to (gre)entrepreneurs. I know, that`s a mouthful. It`s aptly labeled, "All Things Green," and we hope it becomes a vibrant part of our community forum offerings - I can`t imagine anything more exciting than mixing social, conservational, and/or environmental passion into a business mission to bring out the best in an entrepreneur. I look forward to sharing and learning with you in this new category!Oh! And one really exciting thing you can look forward to is an upcoming ranking we`re going to do of the "Top Ten Greenest" home-based businesses in America. We`ll look forward to highlighting them here and mulling over their "green-ness"!Rich

My advice is to act quickly as "Green" is becoming very popular.

I agree technology is a key. Subjects like science, math and other school subjects being taught in our schools are also important. We need smart people to do green right. I also agree you that we need to be after the local government constantly. I am sure they consider me a radical just for that reason. Unfortunately we put the wrong people in office here in Florida, so no matter what was said to them, they did what big money told them to do. The last election made some changes and I am sure the next one will do more.
I think a better way to change the government is to study carefully who we vote for at election time. Voting can let your green feelings come to life. And everyone needs to vote! If my sources are correct, only 45% of the people that could have voted, voted in the last presidential election. This is very sad. When we vote we need to look at each candidate like we were hiring them for a job. I like Lee Iacocca`s suggestion that the next president should tell us who they are going to use for their cabinet before we vote. But I am sure that will not happen. Regardless, we need to take this job seriously if we are to really make a change.
