May Holiday - Office ClosedBefore we get to the goodies in the newsletter we just wanted to let you know we'll be taking a little break in May to re-charge our batteries. The office will be closed from Monday 18th May to Wednesday 27th May. We will send you another reminder closer to the time but if there's anything we need to know about before then please get in touch.
Broadening Green Horizons
I recently read a great study on how how consumers see green and it got me thinking about how we as ethical businesses can reach out more into the mainstream. Having the support and approval of like-minded folk is fantastic but to bring about real change we have to reach more people, who aren't yet making green/ethical steps. Its time to stop preaching to the converted and encourage widespread positive steps. Understanding how consumers (whether that's the public or other businesses) make decisions about where they spend their money can help us put responsible business on their radar. Read 'Colorblind: How Consumers See Green' on Floov to find out more.
