The Green Business Blog Carnival is your weekly wrap-up of everything green and sustainable in business and in life.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Welcome to the third stop of your fantastic journey in sustainable business! Hopefully, you had a chance to read the informative posts featured last week at sustainablog<\/a>. And next Friday, you’ll leap across the pond to visit David Coethica\u2019s Blog<\/a>. It will be a great way to start the month of July.<\/p>\n

So what’s new this week? I’m glad you asked…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the tragedy in the Gulf will be with us for long time. David Wheat at HaraBara<\/a> wonders if the oil spill was necessary<\/a> and if it could have been avoided. He asks us the provocative question – “What if we cut oil consumption by 1%?” Would that have made a difference?<\/p>\n

Are potential home buyers interested in green properties and green home features? Jim Simcoe, the Green Real Estate Contributor for BiggerPockets<\/a> takes us through the results of a recent study<\/a> exploring that very question. The answers may surprise you.<\/p>\n

Going Green’s<\/a> Aaron Dinsdale argues that going green and greed are incompatible<\/a>. In the wake of the BP oil leak possibly caused by the company’s cost-cutting measures, it may be difficult to disagree.<\/p>\n

Our own Heidi Tolliver-Nigro at The Inspired Economist<\/a> challenges businesses to live up to their own green marketing<\/a> message by using environmentally-friendly marketing materials. Oh, the irony!<\/p>\n

At SUNfiltered<\/a>, Jeff McIntire-Strasburg introduces us to siblings who truly understand the meaning of the “triple bottom line” – environment, community and profit. Read about their Michigan-based company, Cangles<\/a>, which turns aluminum cans into jewelry as a means of supporting the local economy.<\/p>\n

Ever wonder if your small business is too small for solar power? Dan Harding at CalFinder’s Solar Blog<\/a> discusses how small businesses can benefit from solar power<\/a> and the “new era of small business-building”.<\/p>\n

Finally, let’s head over to TriplePundit<\/a> where Paul Hannam of Bright Green Leadership<\/a> gives us his tips on how to create effective internet marketing strategies<\/a> for green entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
