As a green business blogger on three sites, I hear about a lot of green business ideas. Today I heard about a near perfect one. Green Any Site. The idea is simple: Before you make a purchase online, you hit the "Green This!" button, and then make your purchase as usual, coupon codes and all. A portion of that sale will go to Green Any Site, 100% of which will be donated to a green nonprofit organization. End of story.

If you are planning an event or teaching program that involves a lot of data please save a tree and use a flash drive.
At less than 8oz a 1GB flash drive can hold more information that 100 twenty-page teaching manuals. Use a promotional items company like Proforma Green for your drives and we can print your logo, event name, even class title on the side of the drive.

It is October and in the promotional products industry that means it is time to start talking about holiday cards.
Most companies find holiday cards a great way to show appreciation to their best clients or to send a special thank you to their employees.
Most green purists will likely say skip the card, save a tree and send email instead. The problem is that a lot of clients expect cards.
Get ready! We're gearing up for West Coast Green, the residential green building expo--happening on September 25 to 27--and we'll be posting live on various keynotes, seminars and exhibits throughout the event.
This year's West Coast Green coordinators promise that this year's lineup will be even better than last year. Green building and a model home made up of shipping crates won't be the only highlights of the show. There will be something for everybody for everyone to talk about. Seminars run the gamut from green building and design to business and innovation.
