It's been a good year for recognition of my work for a better world. In October, I was inducted into the National Environmental Hall of Fame (you can see pictures and read the transcript at http://environmentalhalloffame.net/photo-gallery/community-photo-galleries/green-success/ ) And then tonight, I received notification that I (as the human face of GreenAndProfitable.com) am the very first business in the country to be certified by Green America at the Gold level (which was a fairly arduous process involving several reviews of an extensive questionnaire covering socially responsible investing, supply chain, commitment to social and economic justice, and, of course, environmental benchmarks, among other things). I'm thrilled. Wish my mom was still alive to get the news. -- _________________________________________________ Shel Horowitz - 413-586-2388/ shel at frugalfun.com Marketing consulting * copywriting * publishing assistance * speaking How to market ethically/effectively: http://www.frugalmarketing.com Ethics Blog: http://www.principledprofit.com/good-business-blog/ Books: http://www.frugalmarketing.com/shop.html _________________________________________________
