Finding the Green Opportunity of Your Dreams
Step 1: Getting Started with the RISE Test
By Glenn Croston:
Author of “Starting Green: An Ecopreneur’s Toolkit to Starting a Green Business” and “75 Green Businesses You Can Start to Make Money and Make a Difference”
Introduction
Green business is not just a fad – it’s good business. Sustainability is one of the most important business trends of our time, creating opportunities and careers throughout the economy. The drive to be cleaner, more efficient, and less wasteful is transforming our buildings, transportation, water, food, retail, services, schools, appliances, offices, farms, restaurants, plastics, clothing, furniture, and just about anything else you can think of. It is not just limited to businesses considered green either – a growing number of Fortune 500 businesses have major sustainability efforts underway, finding it an essential part of staying competitive. With such sweeping changes underway and even greater changes ahead, now is the time to be a part of the shift toward sustainability.
The RISE Test is your first step to being a part of it.

Every green entrepreneur knows that good information is essential for their business; misconceptions, bad information, or lack of information can slow progress and cost money. Having the right information, and filling in the info-gaps for entrepreneurs and small businesses can mean the difference between having good intentions alone and building a successful business.
