Remember when buying “Green Products” meant that you were buying a house plant ?Remember when “Going Green” meant you were wearing a green shirt and a hat for St. Valentine’s Day?
Remember when having a “Green Business” meant that you were growing pot in your backyard ?
Not anymore…now “Going Green” means that you have to pay attention and be nice to the stupid selfish Mr. Environment…yeah that same Environment that gives us biting flies, mosquitoes, cold rain, sleet, and makes our feet all yucky dirty when we walk around barefoot in the summer. Yeah, thanks a lot Mr. Environment…now you want ME to be NICE to you ? Get rid of those bugs and we’ll talk.
Selling “green items” is all the rage these days for businesses so you may as well jump off the same green cliff and join the green furry lemmings. Here are some good green item categories to get involved in :
Recycled Items : You can sell your old newspapers as “green wrapping paper”…. you can cut the tops off of 2 liter Coke bottles and sell them as “green planters”… you can sell your old clothing as “green cleaning rags”.
Hemp : Get your hands on some Hemp and sell it as anything…knit some ”green clothing”… braid some “green ropes”… weave some “green fish nets”… don’t do anything and sell it as “green stuff called Hemp”… smoke it if you are stupid…
Body Trimmings : Trim and shave your beard and save the trimmings to mold into an ashtray….save your belly button link and knit a colorful sweater (this will require wearing very colorful clothes to catch those colors in your belly button) … trim those “hairs down there” and stuff some“green pillows” – soft as a Down Pillow, but much more personal and intimate.
Things You Grow : Grow something in your backyard and sell it as “Organic Green”… grow tomatoes, cucumbers, or any other vegetable and people will think they are buying something so chic and exclusive from a gardening dork head like you.
