MONTEREY, Calif., June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer appetite for green products has increased significantly in the past year, according to findings from the annual ImagePower(R) Study, one of the largest global consumer surveys of green brands and corporate environmental responsibility.

Now more savvy about how green choices in personal care, food and household products directly affect them and their families, global consumers are expanding their green purchase interest to higher-ticket items such as cars and technology. Industries protecting th...

With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

The current wave of attention to sustainability represents the challenges that the businesses in the future will need to address. The traditional notions of growth and development need to be reexamined in the light of these challenges. This paper focuses on the adequacy of enterprise based solutions to poverty and the potential for unintended consequences. It examines the dilemma of addressing economic growth and poverty alleviation on one side and the need to halt and possibly reverse the damage that has been done to our environment on the other side. We examine the resulting tensions between the poverty trap, consumption trap and resource limits.

The current media and political blitz on Capitol Hill for government controls on energy production are the product of the panic felt by environmentalists who realize that opinion polls show the public is climbing off the global warming bandwagon. Time magazine this week is running its sixth cover story about global wanning, but one of these days the editors of Time and other publications are going to grow bored with yet another "green" issue, just as the media grew bored with the AIDS crisis, civil rights, the NASA space program, and other once front-burner issues.

TATA MOTORS - which makes small, inexpensive cars, mostly for developing countries - has created one that runs on air. High- pressure tanks of the sleek little MiniCAT release compressed air into a motor that propels the car about 200 miles before refilling at a compressor station. The car is to cost $8,177 when it goes on sale in India in August. Refilling costs $2 - about one-tenth of the cost of operating a gasoline car. Air released into the motor expands and chills, which provides air conditioning for free. There's no exhaust pollution. Most of the car is plastic, and the motor requires a liter of vegetable oil. ***
