What was Green?
Perceptions of “green” or “environmentally-conscious” products have radically shifted.

Now, Green products are designed to be cost-effective, efficient, and business-oriented as well as environmentally friendly. Protecting the environment is no longer underground. Natural resources are disappearing at an alarming rate; public opinion and awareness has greatly shifted in favor of protecting the environment. Corporations, cities, and even the federal government are requiring more eco-friendly procedures and products. Green has moved forward.
