DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4865051/ ] The greening of our society has been under way for well over a decade and changing our language along the way. The rise of consumers becoming Eco-frugal or going for Eco-status by tuning into Eco-vertising leads the market and entrepreneurs to believe we've shifted from a 'fad' to fundamental changes to our lifestyle. Is that true or a bunch of green washing? The real question is whether the 'tipping point' has been reached in the greening of the American consumer and is their purchasing behavior mirroring their new found green values.
