The following video is about a program in Santa Cruz that officially certifies businesses as green if they follow county guidelines. So far over 70 businesses have been certified as a green business in Santa Cruz. The program is called the Green Business County Program and we salute Santa Cruz for taking steps in helping businesses help the environment.
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!
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.

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.
