Your Green Recession Survival Guide
 
Welcome to the perfect storm. Banks are failing, jobs are being lost and businesses are going bankrupt. Add to it the Sub-Prime housing debacle and you have the recipe for a RECESSION. However, today we have a new tool to use to survive the “R” word and prosper afterwards. It is called GREEN. Green solutions inherently do more with less thus save money. There are also new green markets exploding all around despite the economic downturn. In this our first edition of our second year of production, join us as we explore some simple low cost green methods to save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars annually on home office and business operating expenses. In these pages we also learn of new mult-million dollar green market that is City of Phoenix Environmentally Preferred Purchasing.
