- There are many exmaple like this ,now people infuenced by these new wave media think twice before their visiist, they look at whethet the conutry cares about the environment ..
- As thie author says… now greeness has become – mission critical , a competiitve necesisty
- Some companies have spalist roles inthem to do this job
- Variosu awarding bodies , cosumers are also confused as to who really cares about grennesses as ist has now become a part of cycle of competition
- What we see is there are no break fix solutions , we can have approaches
- Reblizous approach to all this , it has been done before ..wther firms in the inudtry form something like this to form collaition against what they want from them govenrment bodies and well has a one single branded coutry to the world..now we have 4 bureos with 4 charimans
