Is Your Business Green?

This past Sunday was Earth Day. All the major media covered some aspect of the day. Here in NY the Mayor outlined a major 127 point plan to help the environment. Big business and government are talking about the environment. That got me thinking about all the potential being green/ECO-friendly/conservationist offers to business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, people buying business, selling products/services and real estate investors. Will a solar power upgrade add value over time? Will eco friendly construction make a difference in your project? Where will these products come from? Who is developing the next solution to our energy problem?

The answer could be you.

There is a huge potential to make money while still doing good things for our environment. We have a number of students who are in or have completed our Entrepreneurship Mastery Program with business ideas related to the environment. They are thinking big and taking some calculated risks. Some have big ideas that may change the way we heat our homes or fill our cars with gas and some have small ideas but with no less significant impacts in our daily lives. The point here is that your business can be a better, more profitable company by being green. If you run, own, or are starting a green business, please share your success stories, ideas, links to your sites and products by adding a comment so we can showcase successful green business ideas to the Trump University community.

Josef Katz is the Vice President of Marketing at Trump University.

What if... Someone wants change. And is doing something to wake them up.

It is an interesting debate.

I'd like to make a couple of things:
First is about making your business green, I am a webmaster for the website called http://AmericanBuilderSurplus.com. We are dealing with building surpluses, overstock, salvage etc, helping companies get rid of materials someone else can use. We opened up a few months ago and we had exprienced great growth. People and companies are trying to make an effort to preserve the environment and we are there to help them find the optimal way.
Second is about marketing for Trump University. Recently, I had received two letters, first was promoting Trump seminar coming to Atlanta and it was offering tickets to the event at a certain price (I do not remember the price exactly). The second was talking about the same event and had two tickets enclosed for free. Frankly, it is not very good marketing, you are basically telling me that you cannot sell enough tickets - not many people want to listen to the "schpeal".

"Going Green" has more to do with changing the way organizations think about their "Corporate Mission" . I have no doubt that "Green Values" will lead to "Green Gold" .

"What is Trump's Green Corpoate Mission?"

If you have one , you and your students are invited to share and support the "Green Corporate Network" that we are creating at http://www.greencorporate.com bloggng netwrok.

Let me invite you all to search for organizations in your backyeard that have a "Green Corporate Mission" and send us a one minute video clip or 250 words article on their "Green misson ".

We are trying to find "Green Stars" who will not get bogged down when "Rubber meets the Road".

Support us in this noble mission .

Hi,

I believe New Zealand is exploring a great business idea of trading in Green Carbon Credits. New Zealand being the Green House of the Pacific.
Green carbon credits are presented through the stock exchange of which potential investors and sponsors invest in carbon credits.
Carbon credits relate to investing in sustainable management of forests remaining intact and not being cut down or any place that has plant life. This provision in turn provides eco-friendly support to your environment. Return on investment is the value of carbon credits will increase due to increment value

Well, its for future investors to watch ,investing in green carbon credits the future for green carbon shares transit into a virtual asset to keep our environments green and carbon friendly.
