...Introduction: The term Green Marketing came into prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The American Marketing Association (AMA) held the first workshop on "Ecological Marketing" in 1975. The proceedings of this workshop resulted in one of the first books on green marketing entitled "Ecological Marketing". Green marketing is the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. Thus green marketing incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple task where several meanings intersect and contradict each other; an example of this will be the existence of varying social, environmental and retail definitions attached to this term. Other similar terms used are environmental marketing and ecological marketing. Entrepreneurs and Green Marketing: There is a new bottom line for business. Besides measuring financial success, companies are increasingly taking account of environmental and social performance - the so-called 'triple bottom line'. Entrepreneurs with a keen business sense and a desire to make the world a better place will reap the rewards. In response to environmental and regulatory pressures, technology is advancing rapidly. To keep abreast of changes and to identify potential markets, entrepreneurs need to: * Follow trends in regulations and standards, which can create or destroy markets...

Synthetic pest control kills more than just problematic insects in the garden. Chemical insecticides may bring harmful negative consequences to humans, animals and non-targeted organisms. Birds can be harmed after eating food that has been treated. Bird’s eggs have been affected by insecticides reducing the population. Insecticides can kill bees and reduce pollination which in turn reduces crop yields. Pesticides kill indiscriminately killing both pests and their natural predators.

... “CONTEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL MARKETING – Emerging Trends of Environmental Marketing in Indian Perspective” SUPERVISOR Submitted By: Submitted to: Deepa Singh IFTM University Moradabad. INTRODUCTION In our days the environmental problems seem to concern all active citizens, enterprises and institutions all over the world much more than thirty years ago. International researches show that the consumers worry more about the environment and change gradually their behaviour (Arbuthnot, 1977; Simon, 1992; Diamantopoulos et al., 2003). Thus, a new market for viable or sustainable products emerges, which is further strengthened by active consumers, since it is a way to contribute - although indirectly - to the protection of the environment (Cornwell and Schwepker, 1995; Cleveland et al., 2005). The enterprises gradually recognize the various competitive advantages and the enterprising opportunities (Johri, 1998) that arise from this ecological consuming approach, entering the word "green" in many of their activities. Thus, in parallel with the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility, the concept of "Environmental Marketing/Green Marketing" has also been cultivated with sufficiently effective practices. According to the American Marketing Association - “Environmental Marketing is the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe”.
