GREEN BUSINESS LEAGUE

The Green Business League has recently shown its dedication and prowess as the only company to hold the federal trademark for Certified Green Consultant.  In the past, others have sought to exploit this designation by offering training merely masking a program that trained their followers to sell products.   These are the kind of multi-level programs that are all too familiar and not consistent with a true consultant role.

One would think that every park is naturally Green, wouldn't they?  The presence of trees, flowers, and even compost would lead anyone to conclude that there is no Greener place in the community that a forest preserve.  Well, there is still plenty of room to improve nearly any Green program.  The Friends of Ryerson Woods has continually stepped up its environmental standards and has recently earned the silver level certification from the G

We have long argued that a simple look at the ethics of a Green business requires more than a "Front side Greening" while leaving the other parts of the daily operation to fumble along in a careless manner.  Going Green is a holistic project that looks at more than a few niche areas like energy, recycled trash, or installing CFL bulbs.  There are literally hundreds of ways that a company can and should Go Green.  One of those ways

Making a difference in the Green certification process is no small task.  A big part of that process means getting heard by people everywhere and saying something of value.  R Michael Richmond has been named as an Expert Author by Ezine Articles, and is on the way to platinum status with the Ezine program.  Topics about Green business certification and Green ethics are the predominant topic.  With the prevalence of Greenwashing so popular in the b

There is a haunting question about Going Green.  Can any business do this, or it is only for the larger corporations?  It has been correctly said that the environmental issue is a universal problem that requires universal participation.  Christine Moscaritolo is a State Farm agent who decided to create a Green office. 

It would seem normal to discover that a health and wellness center to be natural and environmental.  This assumption may be not as reliable in many such businesses.  The fact that Dr. Mowry took the steps to make her healing and wellness center a certified Green business is evidence that this clinic lives what it teaches.

The signing of an executive order is a relatively quiet event in the grand scope of things.  Yet, executive orders have the effect of law if left unchallenged.  In this example, the executive order requires all federal agencies to comply with a variety of environmental mandates.  The order calls for decrease in water use, measuring greenhouse gas emission, paper reduction, Green fleet, and lowering energy demand.  There is little n

Another inconvenient truth is how easily Green claims are bering made by the vast majority of business.  Every week, another Green certification pops up confusing the public about the legitimacy of any Green or sustainable certification.  Years ago, janitorial services seized the idea of claiming to be Green because they bought a Green cleaning product and tossed it on the cart.   The truth is that very few Green janitorial services actually offer Green services, but they urgently want their customers to think that they are Green.  It wasn't until the Green Clean In

Let's start out with a definition.  The Certified Green Consultant is a career choice that allows a trained professional to assist any kind of business to achieve a Certified Green Business status.  Unlike the LEED AP, the Certified Green Consultant is not focused on the building construction, but the business operation.  The focus is on what we call "
