Starting Up Green and Earth Savers Institute Team Up to Help Eco Entrepreneurs Start and Grow Their Green Business

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) NAPLES, FL - April 22, 2010 - The Earth Savers Institute (ESI) and Starting Up Green announced today that they have formed a long-term agreement to offer Starting Up Green’s Consulting Services and eBooks, and to create exclusive and comprehensive courses to help educate Green Entrepreneurs and Businesses in all aspects of “going green” while saving money, being more sustainable, and making a positive difference. 

Finding the Right Opportunity to Start Your Own Business   “If you're looking for new opportunities, the green business world is full of them,” said Glenn Croston, Starting Up Green founder and author of Starting Green and 75 Green Businesses. “Green business is one of the most important business trends of our time, and you don't have to be an environmentalist or an engineer to be a part of it. The question is not whether there are opportunities you can pursue, but which opportunity is best for you.”   "The Earth Savers Institute is the largest green virtual school & certification program of its kind,” said Scott Cardinal, CEO of ESI and author of Going Green Boot Camp and Green Biz Start-Up Kit. We plan on continuing our growth by partnering with authentic green professionals such as Glenn Croston, and offering a variety of courses that will exceed expectations.”   Helping Green Business to Get Started and Succeed   Going green boosts your business by saving you money, increasing brand value, engaging and retaining employees, and opening new business opportunities. Working directly with his clients in a consulting engagement, Glenn Croston provides strategic and operational insight to boost profits with green initiatives.   Online Training, Coaching and Certification Is Eco Friendly   ESI and Starting Up Green offer their services Online, which is very appealing to businesses everywhere, particularly those outside of major cities or where there are no Eco Consultants or Coaches.   “It will be a long while before Eco Consultants and Coaches are as common as local Realtors or Interior Designers. Until that day, Businesses, Organizations, Schools, Hospitals, and Entrepreneurs should consider going the virtual route. Even if an Eco Consultant or Coach is within an hour or two driving distance, it makes more sense to work together via phone and email communications,” said Cardinal. “The Earth Savers Institute is at the forefront of this trend by working with clients throughout the U.S.A., Canada, and most recently South Africa, China, and Australia.”   Consulting With The Best   The Internet has had a positive impact on the consulting business. No longer does a business have to settle for working with a local consultant, in any line of work.   “There are Green Training companies out there that claim to be the largest, but that doesn’t mean anything if they are not well-trained, authentic, and truly passionate about being eco-friendly” said Cardinal. “Glenn Croston is one of the best of the best, and everyone he works with will be thrilled with the consulting they receive. We are proud to be working with him. He reflects everything the Earth Savers Institute stands for.”   Glenn Croston’s Consulting Service is available now, with exclusive courses being offered beginning in May, 2010.   About Starting Up Green and Glenn Croston   Glenn Croston is a noted expert on green business strategy and best practices. The author of the books 75 Green Businesses and Starting Green, he has been featured in the LA Times, the New York Times, Greenbiz.com, BusinessWeek.com, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, hundreds of blogs, and other print, internet, and radio outlets.   A regular speaker at green events and sustainability consultant, Croston lays out the greatest green opportunities of our time, the business case for sustainability, and how people from every background can do the right thing for themselves and for our planet by building a successful and profitable green business.
