Eco-friendly businesses get good press

I was trawling the Web for blog fodder, and I was struck by the number of green business profiles I found. In the order in which I found them:

• A wallpaper store in Snellville, Ga., outside Atlanta.
• A green Home Depot in Albany, N.Y.
• A green builder in Dickinson County, Iowa. (Video, for now, is here on the home page.)
• A LEED-certified car dealership in Salt Lake City.
• A mold-killer manufacturer in Wilmington, Mass.

The take-away for retailers? Green businesses are newsworthy! There's nothing like the free press that comes from a news report about your company. Get the name of the business editor at your local paper, or the news producer at your local TV station, and give them a call. If you have a compelling green story to tell, you may find yourself in my next batch of eco-friendly news links!
