I can think of one area that is missing in these links, pest control. Rodents and insects can carry all sorts of bacteria and disease. My company www.RepellNet.com offers all sorts of natural pest control products for people and some animals.

Good afternoon.
 
Although many people aren`t yet aware of it, there is also a Green Seal Approved product for dry cleaning carpets. Fosters Carpet Dry Cleaning, serving Los Angeles county, exclusively uses this process. Our cleaning product is biobased and the only one approved by the Green Seal Organization to clean carpets. Fosters Carpet Dry Cleaning improves the Indoor Air Quality, as our machines are manufactured in an EPA-Registered Facility. In addition, we conserve water, by hundreds of thousands of gallons annually with our process. Clean carpets with environmental and health benefits. Visit our website www.callfosters.com for additional information and resources.

All things green for printing and promotional items can be located at www.proformagreen.com.

The selection is really much better than it was even 18 months ago.

I’m considering joining the World Wealth Society , a group started by thought leader, James Arthur Ray (I’m a big fan) and wanted to see if anyone had any tips or info about going carbon neutral as a business owner. One of the requirements of the society is, as a business owner, to take your company carbon neutral and to set up an environmental policy. I’m totally onboard, but frankly, I’m a little intimated and would love to hear from some other business owners who have done this and what the costs and time commitments are to make this happen. James talks about why we need to do this in his book, Harmonic Wealth (check out the Relationship chapter – as in relationship with the world! – on page 133), but I’d love some more specifics.

  Thanks!

For all those who ship product frequently, you might be interested to know that you can purchase biodegradable packing peanuts.  Who would have thought?  :)

We have launched a green search engine, called Truevert (www.truevert.com).  It has learned the meaning of words from a set of green documents and searches the web from that perspective.  Check it out.
Thanks,
Herb

Green Maven is a great eco search engine.  If you are a green business, you can submit your business site to be listed in its database.
