It’s Not Easy Being Green

October 29, 2007 by willng24.

Going Green is a huge movement that has been getting a lot of attention. So where does Chinatown stand on the subject? Sadly, to say the Green movement has yet to gain traction in our neighborhood. It was rather difficult for me to find individuals who were even willing to speak to me about this subject. The few locals that I did talk to about going Green do care about the environment, but must justify the cost of changing their operations. The main reason for the lack of following is the cost. Many of these locals feel that going Green would not improve their business. They don’t believe their customers are environmentally conscious. How can we change this?

So until the transition over to a more environmentally friendly operation is cost effective, it will be up to the consumers to encourage our local business owner that we care about the environment. Chinatown has always had a bad reputation about cleanliness but with everyone’s help, we can change this.
