When is Green ‘Green’ ?

 

How Green is Green ?

 

One way to help develop and promote Green Economy standards and practices is to develop a rating system that showcases verified accomplishments by Green Businesses. As consumers gain awareness of the short and long term values of supporting Green Businesses, new Green Jobs will be created, strengthening the Green Economy and helping to build local Green Communities.

 

One Island is testing an award system that recognizes accomplishments made by Green Organizations that are the forerunners in developing Green Jobs. Each area of activity in which an organization ‘greens’ itself then earns them a Tree as a symbol of their commendable accomplishments. These activities span a product or services full life cycle (and include associated activities among their suppliers and customers):

 

Materials

 

Manufacturing

 

Packaging

 

Delivery

 

Use

 

Disposal

 

 

 

How GREEN is your company or organization? How Green is your Job or the job you are seeking? Give it a tree for each of the above 6 activities where it practices a carbon reducing or environmentally friendly activity internally. And if it provides a product or service that also helps others reduce their carbon footprint and be more environmentally sustainable, add a tree for each activity it does that benefits the wider community. Top rating is TWELVE TREES !
