...Being Green: A Life of Opportunity When I hear the iconic Kermit the Frog’s statement about the hardships of being green, I assume that being such an unordinary color could be seen as a difficult lifestyle because of the perpetual contrast the color places between the frog and the rest of society. Nobody else within society seems to be green, and the world must judge Kermit because he is out of the ordinary. However, in his song “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” Kermit is actually lamenting about how this life is difficult because he is in fact ordinary, blending in with the greenness of the natural landscape around him. Unlike Kermit, however, I believe that both the contrast of Kermit with modern society and the comparison of the frog with nature...

...emailed the post. Green Banking For Small Businesses Tim Chen, NerdWallet | Sep. 6, 2011, 9:07 PM | 635 | In an increasingly eco-conscious market, many small businesses are finding creative ways to go green. Whether it’s improving their energy efficiency, buying organic products, composting or just turning off electronics at night, being green means all sorts of things to different people. One small thing you may not have considered is green banking. Most banks have at least one green initiative in place (or claim to), and a few have made the extra effort to distinguish themselves as green businesses. But what does “green banking” mean exactly? Depending on whom you ask, it’s a marketing term, a social philosophy, an investment strategy, and everything in between. However, if you’re an entrepreneur, you probably want to know if it makes sense on a business level. The answer is yes! You’ll save money, you’ll help the planet, and if you’re already running a green business, it’s a great next step. That said, if you’re serious about getting a greener banking experience, you’re going to have to look at facts, not fluff. What is your bank really doing to be more environmentally friendly? Have they cut back on their paper and energy use? Do they invest in sustainable or green businesses? Do they give back to the local community in any way, or give money to charity? You don’t need to do that much digging to get some good answers. Here are a few easy things to look for. ...

...safe and secure is easy to use, attractive and very reliable. There is nothing inside the package that would disrupt the packaging order or aroma. The lid is very easy to use as you just lift it up from one side. Due to the ingredients that I used in the package, the product is kept tight and secure. The outside of the package is attractive, clean, as well as knowledgeable. Slide 2 - The package is very easy to use, you open the lid and gently remove the product. With care, the product can easily be removed from its package. The package is also very easy to store and move due to its mediocre size, its shape and its design. The lid takes up less space than a regular lid would usually take, and the mediocre size and shape of the box allow it to be stored on any shelf because it isn't too big. Slide 3 - The brand name of the Product is Nike and it signed by the famous footballer Lionel Messi. The ingredients that I chose to use inside of the packaging are sponges that I have decorated in green and orange on the bottom of the package as well as the top of the surrounding the egg, bubble wrap that is near the middle surrounding the egg as well as cotton balls directly beneath the egg also covered in green and orange. The unique features of the packaging are an easy to use lid (just open from one side) as well as a flap on the inside of the lid for the Messi Trading Card. I decided to use the colours green and orange in the packaging because first and foremost, Green represents the...

Ignorant I know, but politics was something that I did not really understand. Through this assignment I was able to get to know a few other parties, Constitution, Green, and Libertarian parties. I decided to further investigate the Green party. The Green party is based on principals that are environmentally conscience. According to the Green Party of the United States (gp.org), there are ten key values that they abide by: grassroots democracy social justice and equal opportunity ecological wisdom, non-violence decentralization community-based economic justice feminism and gender equity respect for diversity personal and global responsibility future focus and sustainability The Green Party stands for the rights that every individual has and welcomes public participation in the government as a means of holding the government accountable.

...In the novel The Great Gatsby, author F. Scott Fitzgerald uses colors not only literally but also figuratively. The use of color imagery gives the characters more depth, and it also gives readers a deeper understanding of the characters. For example, Fitzgerald often associates the color green with Jay Gatsby. The color green has various cultural connotations that fit ideally with Gatsby’s jealousy, wealth, and hope, along with the sense of safety with which he is able to provide Daisy. Commonly colors are linked to feelings, and green is often given the label of jealousy and envy. This negative connotation of the color green ties in fittingly with Gatsby’s feelings throughout the novel. One does not have to look far to see that Gatsby is jealous of Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband. During their second encounter, Gatsby tells Tom that he knows his wife, “almost aggressively” (108). He is clearly jealous of their marriage and wishes to make it obvious that he has already established a relationship with Daisy....

...(Webster Dictionary.com, 2012) whereas popular culture is the opposite of high cultural art forms like the opera, historic art, classical music, traditional theater or literature. It includes many forms of cultural communication, including newspapers, television, advertising, comics, pop music, radio, novels, movies, etc. In the beginning of the 20th Century," High art" was the realm of the wealthy and educated classes while popular culture or "Low art" is commercial entertainment for the lower classes. In the 1950s and 60s the gap between them closed with the rise of Pop Art” (Kartha, 2011, p.1). Pop culture is so prominent in society that it is almost impossible to escape its influence. This is especially true in America. As a result of easy access, children absorb huge amounts of information presented by the pop culture world, which influences and shapes their identities. However, not all of it is negative and if parents educate themselves and monitor their children’s activities, pop culture is often a positive influence that helps mold the children of the future (Nixon, 2012). Three Major Trends in Popular American Culture One major trend is social networking; a popular way to socialize, network, and meet people. To be "accepted socially" belonging to a social network is essential. Some of the popular social networks are Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Twitter connects users to the latest stories, ideas, opinions,...

...Kale originated over 2,000 years ago and was one of the most widely eaten green vegetables during the Middle Ages. Since kale has a special ability to resist cold temperatures, it was particularly popular in colder regions. Kale served an important role during ancient Roman times as a staple food for peasants due to the vital nutrients it provided. English settlers are said to have brought kale over to the United States in the 17th century. During World War II, English citizens used kale as a crop in their victory gardens. Kale varies in leaf color from light to dark shades of green and violet. Differences can also be seen in height with the variety of stem lengths that kale may have, which can also be a factor in the flavor that kale produces. Kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts are all the same species of plant and are members of Brassica oleracea. It is generally more disease- and pest-resistant than other brassicas, although it can experience similar problems. USDA guidelines for cultivating...

...Green Retailing Jason Marquardt William Penn CWA Green Retailing Now a days a lot people are trying to go green to save the environment, from recycling tin, plastic and glass products that we use in our everyday lives to using products that are environmental friendly to clean our homes. Not only are retailers trying to make their products greener, they are also making their stores green as well. They are taking the building materials that go into the stores and building with recycled or locally sourced materials and are also using Energy Star rated roofing materials to help in reducing the energy uses that using a traditional roof would cost (Kotler & Armstrong, 2014). When purchasing products that say they are green it is hard for the everyday shopper to be able to know what exactly the ingredients are in them. This is because there are very few ingredients that are familiar to them and even one dish liquid that is popular includes ingredients such as sodium laureth sulfate, lauryl glucoside, and sodium benzoate. Not many people can even pronounce the ingredients, let alone be able to tell what effects the products will have on the environment (Palmer, 2014). Many retailers are offering green products, even when you purchase plants for your garden there is a bio-degradable package that is around it. This will dissolve over time in the ground and provide fertilization for the plants as well. This saves you from having to take the plants out of plastic containers and...
