Watch for Project: Green in 2008
Garden Center Magazine will run a year-long series on sustainability in 2008, called Project: Green.
Operating in an environmentally friendly way isn’t always easy or straightforward. Garden retailers nationwide helped editor Carol Miller select 12 barriers to sustainable practices. Each month, experts will tackle a challenge and offer real-world solutions.
Check in each month as Garden Center Magazine tackles these sustainability topics:
- Recycling
- “Green” plants (part I)
- “Green” plants (part II)
- In-house energy sources
- Pest control and fertilizers
- Waterwise (part I)
- Waterwise (part II)
- Expansion and building issues
- Operational tweaks
- Labeling
- Education
- Marketing your sustainable program

I give you props for your newly launched efforts targeting sustainability. Thank you for being pro-active. The more we are all willing to participate in the conversation going on sustainability, the more collective consciousness will be raised. I am looking forward to learning from and contributing to the dialogue throughout 2008. Congratulations and thank you again for your leadership.

Koodos! Going green isn't as hard as it may seem at first, it is just a bit of outside the box thinking. We've been green since before being green was cool and strive to look for even more ways to expand. Thank you for exposing more of the industry to the concepts and I look foward to learning some new ideas from others who've gone green, too.

It's great to feel that we are not alone on this subject. I'm so happy you are delving into this and I hope it's permanent! As Chuck said above, our collective consciousness will be raised by spreading the word.
Thank you.
