There were some good points made in this article. I looked up the "green" landscape company and it is actually located in Idaho and not Ohio as stated in this article.

I love to see the business community getting into making cash selling green products. I have twenty years of making my living in this field and the trend I see in marketing is a knee jerk reaction and might not bear as much fruit as the marketers think. Buyers of green products seem to be turned off by the full on GREEN baby GREEN! Better results are gained through Green here and their wrapped in a compelling story. Google Green Products Hawaii to see our mixup in this bit of marketing for our Natural Soap Factory in Hawaii.

Thank you for your thought provoking article. Even if you don't believe in global warming, helping our environment is always a positive step. Reducing our dependence on petroleum is also a win-win.

Eco-friendliness might not have claims for changing dreams into realities for some...but it has a steady lead to promiseland. This article definitely gives us an insight to that "green world." As a eco friendly small business owner I can attest to it. People in general are making an effort to buy eco-friendly gift items-may it be 100% organic clothing or recycled gift boxes. From bridal showers to building materials, theme is green and Max Berry just reinforces our trend that is here to stay. Thanks for the article. May you continue to be successful.

While there is great opportunity in "Green" business transparency is a must. You certainly don't want to gain the reputation of "Greenwashing".

We recently launched http://iStayGreen.org which is a website that enables the eco-conscious traveler to find "Green" hotels. iStayGreen has around 3,000 properties that have been Green Eco-Leaf Rated. It's also a social networking site similar to Facebook - TripAdvisor - and Expedia but all wrapped up into one website for the eco-friendly traveler to hang out at.

Members write reviews on the properties they stay at based on their "Green" initiatives, so basically the public is creating an accountability system that forces the property owners to be truthful in their claims and do something about becoming more environmentally friendly. As a result, iStayGreen.org will help curb "Greenwashing" in the lodging industry and provides an excellent transparent green business model.

These are great examples of retailers that are green, but this also raises the question - if some companies are stretching the definition of "organic" or "natural" to boost sales, etc. Is there standardization on these terms?
