The Rise of
the Biobased
Economy: Why Brands
Need to Develop a
Strategy in
2012
Our
economy is slowly
but surely heeding
the signal that
carbon is the new
watchword. During
the past few years,
a steady stream of
so-called
“biobased” products
have been making
their way to retail
shelves
.
Many Consumers Feel
Many Products Are
Over-Packaged
NMI's
annual U.S. LOHAS
Consumer Trends
Study® has found
most American
consumers are
adopting a "less is
more" attitude when
it comes to
consumer product
packaging.
The State of Green
Business
2012
The annual 2012
State of Green
Business
report, has
just been
published. I’m not
going to mince
words: Things
aren’t going as
well as we’d
hoped.
Group Pressure
Could Form Green
Consumers
Green marketing
should focus on how
consumers respond
to social pressure
from those around
them, rather than
trying to force
individual
consumers to change
their habits,
according to brand
consultant and
Environmental
Leader columnist
Guy
Champniss.
Five Trends Shaping

in

A
few weeks ago, we
had the opportunity
to grab lunch with
our good friend,
renowned business
guru Bob Bloom, to
seek his advice as
we looked ahead to
the New Year.

Is
that a GMO? Just
Label
It!
No
doubt you’ve seen
the petitions
circling. You may
even follow GMO
news closely and
know that, most
recently, genetic
material in GMO
rice was shown in
research to survive
digestion,
impacting
cholesterol in
humans.
Exercise Can Help
Reduce Anxiety In
Women
Approximately
3 percent of the
U.S. population
suffers from
excessive,
uncontrollable
worry that reduces
their health and
quality of life.
The condition,
known as
Generalized Anxiety
Disorder, is
difficult to
overcome and is
accompanied by a
host of physical
symptoms.
Survey Shows Social
Health Networks
Help People Stick
to New Year's
Resolutions
Studies show
that people are
more motivated to
achieve their goals
when phrased in the
form of a question.
In the game of goal
achievement,
willingness trumps
willpower. That’s
the conclusion of
several studies
conducted by
psychologist
Ibrahim Senay, PhD,
at the University
of Illinois at
Urbana–Champaign.
Returning
to the light, our
true
home
I
find color
fascinating. The
light frequencies
we experience as
color define our
world in wondrous
ways. Visualize an
azure ocean, a
verdant forest or
crimson sunset,
these are all
examples of color
environments, which
positively
influence our
emotions and
restore our
health.
