Green Living in the UK

There are some great websites out there on how the increase the color of green in your life, one of them coming from across the Atlantic in the UK: http://www.uk-energy-saving.com/. Even though the title of the website seems to concern itself only with saving energy, there is one column on the site that deals with "Green Living" and includes topics such as Fairtrade, Green Travel, Organic Products, Recycling, Saving Water, and Green Banking. The only topic that seems to be missing is Green Building!

By the way, the UK is continuing to see strong demand for organic products, one of the strongest in Europe. I receive daily updates from Google on organic products and the UK is almost always included in one of the updates. If you have an organic product that you are thinking about exporting, the UK may be a good target market for your product. Do the research!

The Color Green

What does "green" represent to you? Does it represent life? Money? The environment? Gardening? New beginnings? Monsters hiding in the closet? To go at a traffic light? Whatever it represents to you, it is a color that rings beauty in my ears and is basically the subject of this blog. In the entries to come, you will find articles and tips on maintaining the color green in your life or find updates on how others are taking care of the matter for you.

Oh, don't forget: Green is for go!
