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.

I found an excerpt of a video that really makes me smile. The speaker talks about how far green business has come over the past two or three years. Clean and affordable energy seems to be spearheading the green business movement, but along the way other businesses will make the shift and become more green. The snowball will get bigger and bigger as time passes.
