The New York Times rocks out a special section on “The Business of Green” today. From climate change to cleantech investing to sustainable design to urban planning, there is 7 pages of articles and approximately 5 pages of eco-advertisments, (including Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth). Turn to the back and lo-and-behold, you have a Wal-Mart advert on “We’re Headed in a New Direction.” Don’t discredit the biggest discount retailer yet. I’ve heard from those working in the belly of the beast some hush-hush eco operations that will be going down in the next few years (outside of the organic food)…
Looks as if the business of going green is in the mainstream. Tune back into Eco-Chick for a special on the future of green investment. An Eco-Chick exclusive!
I still find it surprising that the bulk of the environmental news I read isn’t in the science or main news sections of magazines/newspapers, but in the business sections! Which is a good thing….I think. In any case, it’s got me reading the business section now- which I used to skip over.
