Costner to Clean the Shores!

It has been 3 weeks since BP made their generous donation of oil to the sea (insert sarcasim) with its explosion at the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig. Unfortunately this issue has gone way of the dinosaur, buffalo, and the recent volcanic explosion in Iceland and become a minor footnote in the daily news at major agencies.

It has now come to my attention Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy aka Kevin Costner is taking it upon himself to clean up BP’s mess and hopefully return the spot light to this serious issue. Supposedly, Costner and his scientist brother Dan, will be in the region to demonstrate a device designed to separate oil and water. Records from the EPA indicate the Costner brothers have promoted an oil-water filtration system in the past through their company Costner Industries Nevada Corporation.

Now sure mabey I’m making the issue seem a little more light-hearted with my subtle Tin Cup jokes, but make no mistake people, this problem is far from solved and requires much more attention. If not properly cleaned and resolved, the ramifications of this issue could be severe for future generations. Hopefully there will be more information on this news as the days progress.

It’s Getting Green,

The Green Business Handbook

Calling all business people and entrepreneurs!!!

Recently I purchased a business book that could prove to be essential to all professionals out there who are looking to develop an environmentally sustainable company or improve upon an existing company.  The name of the book is called “Green to Gold”.

Ok, so I am only a third of the way through this book, but it has already begun to change my perspective on the benefits of environmental practices within the business world.  As a large or small business, an environmental strategy is not only about developing responsible business practices but also as a means of differentiating yourself from the competition, creating a competitive advantage and  successfully operating in a environmentally sustainable  manner.

Throughout this book the authors are able to incorporate existing knowledge about environmental business practices with innovative business strategies to create a clear picture of how organizations around the world can address environmental demands and strengthen their business.

Have a read, I really think you will find this book extremely interesting, click here
