Firstly, ahheemmm....when a person says "no offence meant" they actually try to mean "dude....I really meant to hurt and humiliate u" ....human nature..realistically speaking

Secondly,plz don't think I am trying to be offensive or nosing in because you publicly brought forward your scorn or whatever he says it is ...it becomes my right to tell the numbers here how ill informed u are about the www.

Thirdly, I am among the admins of eHow.com .this isn't the only article u will find there written by the IDA members..so get a grip .
This article was posted by me on behalf of the dynamites and phoenixes (debating societies) a few months back. Being a hot topic in its time it was trademarked, registered, summarised and presented on the web along with millions of other topics on sites like debates.org and eHow ..business forum to u if u are keeping up

Now the basic "scorn" around ur post...I request u to first discuss such unnecessary things privately before posting publicly to purposefully humiliate the concerned people and trying to make others doubtful of their talents.

No offence meant but your views about politics are repetitive .you actually keep mentioning those things again and again without any solid reasoning.

Lastly, u can't conclude I humiliated u miss...I did the same as u ,publicly, as u tried to humiliate the eHow admin and a well.known article writer


No offence meant ...relax

Dude I was smiling all the way as I read your reply You didn't humiliate me at all. I am totally cool with reasoning on public forums. And just so that I don't leave any ambiguity , you mean to say you are JaggXaxx (The ehow contributor who posted this article) right?

ill informed about the www??? Buddy I just said 'I found a very similar article' , I didn't blame her for copying the article. Posting a simple link doesn't make me ill informed. And you should have been proud that the article was actually her piece of writing
Secondly, it's funny that you had to scrutinize my views on politics and try to fix them in here I am not a MUN level debater anyways

Few businesses are able to make a profit without having some impact on the environment. In many cases, the effect of business activities on the environment is profoundly damaging. The response of companies and corporations to this problem can vary widely: some ignore the problem, some comply to minimal legal standards, some engage in "greenwashing" -- or portraying themselves as greener than they actually are -- and some take the problem seriously and attempt to resolve it.

Impacts:
Every business in the world is involved in resource use, pollution and waste production to some extent. This is obvious in cases of mining companies and petrochemical plants. It is less evident when looking at ecotourism companies and green businesses, but every businesses, because it is connected to the global financial system, shares the responsibility to decrease the environmental damage caused by that system. The impacts of business on the environment include release of greenhouse gases, depletion of non-renewable resources, loss of habitat and biodiversity, ancient forest destruction for lumber, urban sprawl and slash-and-burn agriculture and ocean damage through acidification, plastic waste and toxins.


Restrictions and solution:
The level of regulation and environmental enforcement that businesses are subjected to varies widely in countries around the world. How draconian these regulations are depends on who you ask; while many business owners will complain that they are too restrictive, many environmentalists will claim that the same regulations are not strict enough. Some governments attempt to regulate industries through voluntary or self-applied programs, with varying results


Greenwashing is a corporate practice that developed in response to a growing public awareness of the environmental impact of business activities. It involves putting more effort into developing a green public image than into actually becoming green. Because an increasing number of consumers base at least some of their buying choices on the environmental record of a company, businesses have discovered that they can increase their profits by presenting themselves as concerned about the fate of the planet. In some cases these promotional materials are an accurate reflection of corporate attempts to lessen their impact, but in the case of greenwashing the promotional materials are far more extensive than any real action.



The question of what the alternative is to business impacts on the environment is a contentious one. Some people believe that the market will right its own wrongs, and that consumer pressure will eventually create businesses that are environmentally benign. Others believe that capitalism is inherently destructive to the planet and can't be reformed. The first belief system leads to efforts to make industry cleaner and more sustainable, while the second belief system leads to efforts to find more radical alternatives, involving a fundamentally different society that isn't dependent on global trade, fossil fuels or economic growth.




Is this fine? I can't write more....

d green washing part was really helpful
