If we were to reply only on the headlines, in mainstream media, press or the blogosphere, it is apparent that going green continues to be a very hot-button topic.

There is no end to the information that can be found and it can be overwhelming to say the least.  First question, where to start? Where to begin researching? Which area should we tackle first? If you are not sure, you are not alone.

I wanted to know what small to medium business could do to implement easy and meaningful “green processes” to help reduce their carbon footprint on the environment.  What about home offices, which are a growing trend as part of telecommuting, which helps reduce an individual’s carbon footprint, through reduction or elimination of daily commuting to and from a employer.

Where to start? Need ideas? Join an Eco-Friendly group on LinkedIn, Facebook or a host of other social networks.  These groups have thousands of members, all willing to help other member’s source products that work.

I joined a group on LinkedIN , called GreenBiz .  On their website I found a publication called “State of Green Business 2008 “, a 64 page publication about companies going green.

It contains lots of helpful information and ideas.  It also shows there is much to celebrate and still much more work to do to integrate environmental thinking into operations of organizations.

We started in the office and we will be sharing those experiences in our Green Tip series.

Have your or your organization began to go green? What area did you decide to change first? What changes did you make personally?  What changes have taken place within your organization?
