Encouraging signs

In a time where most of what we read in the national press or see on the news is at best negative and at worst downright depressing, it's been encouraging lately to see that certain businesses and sectors seem to be fighting back and showing positive signs and attitudes.

It's always tough starting a new business and the current climate makes it even harder but the more I read the more I see that a huge amount of new businesses are environmentally focussed and profess to be ethically sound. Something that strikes me as incredibly relevant with all that is currently going on behind the scenes at Westminster.

Perhaps it's an attitude that resides in all eco people or perhaps it's a real sign that eco businesses are here to stay, but wherever you look there are green businesses sprouting up. Brand new ideas or variations on an old theme, it really doesn't matter. There is a real shift in perception and when quality companies start producing quality green products and services then those who have shunned them in the past will run out of excuses. To be honest, I think we're already there, we just need to push those companies even harder and start using them so that they become the norm.

The future is bright, the future is green.
