The market for products and services that are friendly to the environment is one of the fastest growing today. Three out of every ten Americans qualifies as a green consumer, according to the UK consultancy Green Futures, which estimated the green market at $229 billion in 2005.
With more than 40 years combined experience in the environmental movement and dealing with energy, along with deep policy and advocacy experience on green issues, our people can help you reach green consumers and build support for your good work in your local community and beyond.
Members of our staff have worked with such groups as the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Goldman Environmental Prize. We’ve also founded two local citizens’ groups about sustainability in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley: Staunton Green 2020 and Transition Staunton Augusta. We’re also launching a magazine about peak oil and the Transition Movement, Transition Voice.
And our managing partner, Erik, ran as perhaps the greenest candidate for the Virginia state legislature in 2009, endorsed by the Sierra Club. Though Erik didn’t win the election, he learned valuable lessons about communicating green messages to diverse audiences that he can put to work to help you reach people who care about your impact on the planet.
You’ll notice, we don’t use much green in our site design. Why? We think the color may be a bit overdone in our business. For yours, green may work. We’d be happy to talk to you about it.
Once you win their trust, green consumers can be some of your most loyal customers and even ambassadors for what you do. And there’s no better place to reach green people today than online. We can help you create a website, blog, and social media campaign that will help you engage this powerful and growing group.
