Gardeners have quietly peed into containers full of sawdust, and later, cut fertilizer bills by spreading the sawdust on the garden! Other, business and industrial waste flows must be critically re-examined and inventive new ways for total engineering of processes put in place! Nuclear reactors have cooling towers that essentially waste heat that could be put to better uses! We need better engineers! China has a glut of well educated, unindoctrinated (in wasteful American ways) engineers. maybe we should hire them, and share in the successes they have brought to their own country! Our boys are too busy trying to suck up to "Peach" jobs at GM to do serious diligent, economically sound and 21st Century level work anyway, and only did the parts of their courses that taught how to build 620 hp, 8mpg, 230 mph 'Vettes" as is evidenced by their latest toy from GM. Now there's a wasteflow langoring on the sales lots, priced off of the American market before they got there!

It is important for companies to go green for the right reasons. Doing so for PR and marketing reasons alone is counterproductive. Companies guilty of "greenwashing" are increasingly being called out as frauds. Furthermore, trying to paint everything with the same green brush may lead to "green fatigue", which could provide a real setback for companies who actually are working hard to provide genuine solutions to environmental problems. My client, StalkMarket, examines this issue on its blog here http://blog.stalkmarketproducts.com (see the posts entitled Green Fatigue and Greenwashing). I look at it from a PR and marketing perspective in my blog here http://blog.koifishcommunications.com/2008/09/17/greenwashing--time-to-find-a-new-fad.aspx Thanks for bringing up this great subject.
