Earth Day 2010 |
 |
This year marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, but it symbolizes much more than that. Earth day is a day where citizens around the world pay global respect to the planet they live on.

The Green Pig Syndrome |
 |

 |
Green Misdirection: Ignore the real issue and divert attention to the �other things� that are better.

 |
The problem of establishing a credential is the lack of information on the subject. The EPA has the DfE project that helps sectors improve their products or services. After more than a decade of public angst over the environmental issues, there has been little offered as a governmental solution.
In the fall of 2009, President Obama signed Executive Order 13514, which was one of the best outlines for the Green and sustainable businesses. This order was only applicable to governmental agenc |

Green Investing: Eco-friendly Investment Choices |
 |
At EnviroCitizen.org we support and encourage green investing.
