Global Company Slowly Going Green

The following green business video focuses on Google and what they are doing to advance the movement towards sustainability. When multi-billion dollar companies make a conscious effort to protect the environment and minimize their carbon footprint, things are changing. I personally hope that other major corporations realize that taking action to protect the environment is possible. Small steps can lead to major change. Good job Google.

The video is from the Sundance channel. Enjoy!

Here is a really cool video that follows Pizza Fusion. This pizza parlor sells only organic pizzas and they are thriving, selling franchises at a rapid rate. In my opinion pizza is one of the most popular foods in America, and Pizza Fusion is doing it right, selling great tasting pizza while thinking about the environment. An amazing concept from an amazing company. Thumbs up from Green Business to Pizza Fusion for taking a saturated pizza market and creating something new, exciting and green!

Sustainable Business Practices At Work

I just saw the following video by United Natural Foods Inc. This company is a distributor of certified organic foods. Yeah, it is a bit of an infomercial, but it drives the point home that business can maximize profit by being sustainable. Reducing costs and reducing negative impact on the environment is where it’s at for United Natural Foods. An example of how they reduce their environmental impact is the wood used in their offices is sustainably harvested. They have also installed sensors in their offices so when people leave the room the lights automatically shut off. Very cool! A big thumbs up from Green Business to United Natural Foods Inc. for making money with a conscience.

Sustainable Business and Universal Studios Hollywood

robertludvig — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:40:35 +0000

I just received an email from an account executive at Special Ops Media requesting me to help promote an Eco-Fair at Universal Studios. It is on April 26 and runs from 10:00am-4:00pm. From what I read Universal is pushing its little own green business these days.

Major players in all forms of industry have created their own green initiatives. To me it further proves the impact green business is having on a mass scale. When theme parks push green business you know the environment is mainstream.

Thumbs up to Universal Studios for a day of green. Hopefully more and more businesses jump on the green bandwagon.
