I keep saying that we need to make steps towards improvement that are sustainable. It appears that Atlas has a similar opinion.

Here’s an excerpt from an article about the first hybrid moving van.

There it is right there - economics and environmentally friendly working together in order to create sustainability. Let’s hope that we see more of these trucks on the road in the near future (hauling environmentally friendly products).

In fact, consulting on these trucks might be a nice new profit center for Atlas – just be responsible about it and don’t overcharge. Remember, it is about the environment.

Want to live in a more sustainable manner - well of course you have to consider your finances. If you didn’t, it wouldn’t be sustainable.

Quite often those who advocate a green life have no concern for the costs involved. They just want to make change.

I would argue that change that is not sustainable is no change at all . People will revert to their old ways if they can not afford the new way of living.

Here’s how a contractor put it in a recent article.

Rather than fighting this trend and trying to convince people that cost shouldn’t matter, we should be embracing it. We should be letting people know how they can have less impact on the environment with little to no impact on their environment.

I’m going to be sharing some more thoughts about this, but in the mean time you can read the rest of the article at DesMoinesRegister.Com.

The problem I have with many companies that offer “green products” is that some of them are offering conventional products with a “green label”.

Proctor and Gamble is taking the environment seriously. They are doing their part to reduce their CO2 emissions and create environmentally friendly products. In addition to that they are actually measuring their performance in relation to their sustainability goals.

Wow, a company that is keeping itself accountable.

As I’ve mentioned before, I have know problem with a company making a profit, even on green products. After all, if there is no profit, then there is no incentive for the company.

What I do have a problem with is companies gouging their customers or marketing products that provide little improvement.

Well done P&G, you deserve a (reasonable) profit.
