 The Pacific Northwest is well known for being an environmentalist’s haven; with its lush greenery and beautiful coastline, it is an area whose metropolises are renowned for being regional leaders in sustainable and “green” practices. A contributor who further reinforces this reputation is Burgerville, a chain of restaurants spread around Oregon and Washington states, that has been serving food with locally-sourced ingredients for nearly fifty years.
Their mission, cut down to three little words, is “Serve with Love”. Under that umbrella is the promise that the stewards of Burgerville will deliver fresh and local products, commit to sustainable practices, and follow through on their assurance of top-notch service.

 Dying is possibly the most natural occurrence in the world. But modern death rituals—embalming with toxic chemicals and traditional burial in concrete vaults—are not nature-friendly.
Environmentally harmful dispositions and other ecologically unfriendly practices have caused a new generation of death care professionals to green up the funeral industry with burials that tread lightly on the terrain.

Green or sustainable business practices seem to becoming the new business standard. If greening is part of your business’s resolutions for 2010, you will want to grab a copy of Greening Your Small Business: How to Improve Your Bottom Line, Grow Your Brand, Satisfy Your Customers – and Save the Planet by Jennifer Kaplan (Greenhance, LLC).

 More than likely you have heard the phrase “pay it forward,” which by definition is when someone does a good deed for you and instead of paying them back, you pay it forward by doing a good deed for someone else.
