assuage any guilt they might feel about consuming mass quantities of unnecessary, disposable goods by dutifully tossing these items into their recycling bins and hauling them out to the curb each week”. (Westervelt, Amy. "Can Recycling Be Bad for the Environment?" Forbes. Forbes Magazine, 25 Apr. 2012. Web. 5 Dec. 2015). So why is the reason that companies are starting to “Go Green”? Its clearly obvious that the change in America from an industrial country to a environmental country has taught big business how to market environmentalism in mass quantities of their product. The strategy of the consumption-environment mindset are increasing rapidly. If this trend of buying without thinking does not slow down, with problems like not shifting priority from consumption to being environmentally aware, things will certainly worsen. On the topic of green marketing, people often see that green marketing refers to the advertising of objects or products with environmental characteristics to them (Like the Nestle bottle, for example).

An elementary and intermediate school using bokashi composting to reduce their wastes. I cannot recall the name of the school but I have been there and watched/helped them make bokashi. Last semester I was in Hawaiian studies 100 and towards the end of the semester we went to this school. I helped make some bokashi, after we had played traditional Hawaiian games. The school has reduced a lot of waste and made a lot of compost in the process. Using food leftovers, paper food trays and used napkins. Their garden is limited but all the plants are thriving and healthy. As they reduced their waste they thought why only reduce waste at their

In the chapter of “Will’s Compost” from The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen discusses about a bad side and a good side of urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is booming in United States and there are a lot of non-profit organizations involve to create a strong urban agriculture progress. Allen also mentions that most of people living in urban areas are highly integrated with food insecurity and also most of the farmers had sold their land to the developers. From my reading, I started to have a thought about the benefits of urban agriculture. Does urban agriculture offers any other benefits other than what Allen has mentioned and through out its progress, is there any challenges faced by the farmers?

Have you ever walked around a school campus just minutes after the lunch break? Well if you have, you may have observed the absurd amount of wasted food spilling out of trash cans and scattered around the concrete floors. It makes you realize how much food we waste daily, and how preventable that is. With that, it is mandatory that Mills High School should be required to have composting and more recycling bins around campus, this would be beneficial to our planet and the upcoming generations.

The Marketing process is made up of simple concepts that involve lots of research on the part of the marketer. The process begins with understanding the consumer, without knowing what consumers need or want, it would be extremely hard for firms to both develop and sell a product. Knowing that consumers want more green products due to growing environmental concerns is a very important detail. Needs and wants are what fuel consumer purchases and marketers must perform research in order to best serve their customers. Through this research, marketers are led to the next step of the process and can now develop a customer driven marketing strategy. Here, the firm must decide how it will differentiate its product from others on the market.

With CSCC deciding to make a conscious effort to encourage, a healthier way of eating by having a community college garden that will encourage students to make the right food choice.

Therefore, the concept of

An excuse that many people have involves composting, “ I would love to compost, but it will just get in the way.” When an individual or group uses a compost it is a barrel or bin. Individuals can start composting by simply getting a bin and putting it somewhere that no one can see, that way it’s not “in the way.” As a matter of fact, groups or organizations can also use composts. People simply put leaves, grass clippings, or certain food into the compost bin, and after a few days, or weeks it turns into fertilizer. Organizations can do this so they can save money on landscaping when they already have the materials for themselves. For example, churches can have a compost bin, and the food that is left over from, say their fellowship dinner they can put in there. They could put leaves that fall from their trees, or even grass clippings from mowing into the compost so they have fertilizer for their garden beds, or flowers. Composting can replenish the

In today’s day and age, everyone is concerned about the environment. Our society is increasingly encouraged to “go green,” to do our part in making the world a cleaner, more eco-friendly place. Green marketing is one major strategy being used to promote such efforts, but is it effective? There is some debate about this concept, including the history of green marketing, the problems with green marketing so far, the effectiveness of marketing schemes like Sunchips and Toyota, and the strategies that could be used to increase the ability of green marketing. While protecting our planet is a noble concept, its execution seems to be a little vague. Of all the aspects concerning green marketing, one thing is clear: our planet still has a long
