Greetings!
|
| Don't know about you, but this year April Fool's was eclipsed by the growing buzz in anticipation of Earth Day - we'll have to get you next year. In this issue we attempt to put the annual celebration of our planet into perspective, highlight a manufacturer that's leading the pack, expose another batch of our favorite products, and announce a contest for tips on office greening. |
Earth Day 2007 - Mainstreaming Green
|
 On April 22, 1970, 20 million people participated in the inaugural Earth Day. Today the sustainability movement is activating an even wider range of stakeholders who are bringing the values of people and planet to the mainstream. As Tom Friedman, the man who called the world flat, recently proclaimed: "Green is the new Red, White, and Blue." At TheGreenOffice.com, we're seeing demand for sustainability consulting pour in from traditionally "brown" businesses. The cultural underground is going green with events like New York's "Project Earth Day" eco-fashion show. And, to our infinite amusement, the characters from Days of Our Lives are planning their first green wedding.
On this 27th Earth Day, we're inspired by these innovative, creative, and diverse endeavors. The groundwork has been laid for building a new green economy supported by vibrant communities and a thriving planet.
