In this day and age, any incentive to ‘go green’ is necessary.

So what better idea then presenting an “Evergreen Award” to companies that have put environmentally conscious business practices into place?

Sharp Electronics, thanks to its use of solar technology and eco-friendly packaging, is one company that won this award.

The award itself is a good idea, and I think that other incentives should be put into place, and the publicity is good for both companies and spreading the word about taking steps to preserve our world.

Our staff of writers has varying opinions on this idea.

Hope believes that green awards are a great idea, and “The more “going green” things that are publicized, the more people will get involved and participate.” She goes on to say that we’re not taking this issue seriously enough, and how we need to be proactive and understand what we can do to help. “We don’t have to do anything major,” she states, “minor things like turning off the lights when you’re not in the room, or just recycling helps. We need to take charge of the world now before it’s too late.”

Piratical Lord of the Guitars has a similar opinion. “I think it’s great that Sharp Electronics has taken an initiative to help the environment,” she says. “…Sharp Electronics have stepped up to the plate. It’s rather inspiring, and hopefully it will set an example for other companies will follow.”

Use every opportunity you get to ‘go green’, because you might just be recognized for it.
