Whatever It Takes

I have long been an advocate of positive change often regardless of the motivation.  For example, I don't care if the concept of Global Climate Change is a scare tactic.  If it makes people and companies change their habits for the betterment of the planet, then I say:  "Scare away!"
 
Turns out that businesses may decide to make changes in their operations that could defeat Global Climate Change and it's not for reasons you might expect, such as altruism or legislation.  Greenbiz.com reports today that an Ernst & Young survey found that--surprise, surprise!--many companies are investing in climate change changes because it's GOOD BUSINESS!  In other words, they found that they saved money or made money, they might avoid shareholder angst, and they might reduce risk.  Read on at: www.greenbiz.com/news/2010/05/25/nearly-three-quarters-firms-plan-boost-climate-investments where you can find a link to the Ernst & Young report.
