The desire for businesses, homes, and people to be green or more environmentally friendly is a trend that has become incredibly popular in the last few years. The question is if this trend will continue, or if it is merely a fad. People are becoming increasingly aware of the effect that there actions have on the environment and the effect that the environment has on them. As long as people continue to be educated about these matters it is likely that this is much more that an passing fad.
Looking at the environmental movement over the last few decades, it is easy to see that this has been a steadily growing trend since the 1970′s and can be traced back as far as the 1940′s with victory gardens and wartime recycling drives. The popularity of the latest green movement, is linked to the recognition of the effect that these actions have long term rewards. Despite the current economic crisis many businesses and individuals are spending more money now on items that are more environmentally friendly and will save them money in the long run. While it can be argued that this is more about saving money that the environment, it is clear that at at time when most people and businesses would be cutting corners they are willing to spend more now to save more later.
