75 Green Businesses -- A Book
A new book on being a green entrepreneur is coming off the press in August. Glenn Croston has written 75 Green Businesses You Can Start to Make Money and Make a Difference to help spur more activity in the environmental aspects of business. He recognizes the environmental movement is growing and has taken action to help it grow more: he's urging people to start green businesses.
If you want to be part of the green wave sweeping the nation, and the world, start a green business. And to learn to do that, or to make your existing business greener, check out this new book coming off the press late summer, 2008.
I got involved before the book went to the publisher because of my environmental hospitality background. He had an innkeeper with a green B&B write the article about starting an environmentally friendly B&B. I added comments and reactions to what was written to fill out the perspective.
For those interested in reserving their copy now, presales are available at Amazon. And you can learn more about the book at Glenn's site 75GreenBusinesses.com. It looks to be an interesting, stimulating book.
Addendum
Glenn Croston, the author, approached me to add some comments for this book about operating a green B&B. I added some comments, knowing an entire book could be written on that subject alone. When he asked me to read the manuscript before he sent it to the publisher I was hesitant because I didn't think I had anything new to offer. And I thought I was too busy. Hah! I loved what Glenn did with the topic. Time flew as I read the book. It turns out my extensive environmental background added value to Glenn's book, even though my comments were minor.
As I started reading the book I was looking at the term "Business" in the narrow scope of the word, the way an entrepreneur would see it. I thought the book was going to address the various business fields an entrepreneur could get involved to start their own business. But Glenn is using the term in the broad sense, anything to do with the business from owner to employee. I'm very impressed with the thought and research put into this book. Anyone wanting to be part of the swelling green wave is in luck with this book. Since I think the green wave is really a green tsunami, now is the time for anyone interested in being part of the rebuilding of the economy and having "job security" to buy this book. This can be your first action step in building a greener America.
