Can a "Green" Business Also be a Profitable One?

[new2tune]

Great message Gary! I enjoyed just this little bit and your company is a great model of what can happen when you run a business with a conscience. Would love to work for you1

We need to reach a situation where companies & businessess regard environmental care as important as customer care

The only way it can profitable is if it is legislated and forced upon the market, this is why leftist like it because it changes our society bit by bit.

The rhetoric of the enemies of changing to renewable energy and to organic and humane farming and animal practices, and other such measures, is based not on a sincere belief in the cost of those efforts, but rather is based on their fear and knowledge that they will not be able to control the new, sustainable economy.

[lockdown260]

Valid point. Though there are some who have genuine concerns about the cost and efficiency of such technology. Most just feel that environmentalists are just pushing deficient and costly products on others to forward their agenda. I wouldn't want a car that gets 100mpg but can't get up a steep hill b/c it has no horsepower. I'm not against green tech . I just think it should be thoroughly researched and tested b4 being put on the market.

[PlanetThoughts]

There were trolleys in the 1930s (I believe that was the decade) and those were carefully destroyed by an alliance of auto makers and oil companies.  Perhaps it is mainstream industry that is pushing unneeded, poor-quality products with planned obselescence, or products that get burned up such as oil, so that they can continue to soak up our incomes. This should be ended by a clear-headed government.

[lockdown260]

I believe it should eventually end as well. Just not by the gov. I know that green tech can succeed. There are instances like in cleaning supplies where the green products worked better than the non-green tech. This is what I would like to see across the board of green vs non- green tech. Which is why I DO think the gov should help fund the research.

[PlanetThoughts]

Well, we agree. I am also speaking of government support for research, and probably some initial incentives to help things get going more quickly.

I bothers me that SFF yogurt has been recalled for tiny beads of glass and plastic in their products. Maybe they should concentrate more on quality control because this has hurt their image. I pay more for their product because I trusted them. This sadens me.

[neotoy]

Should really be asking: can we afford not to go green?

[humanist7117]

Excellent!

[superfisto]

He needs to talk to the gov't and the military.
