Association Green (AG)

For a company to go green now a day is very important. Especially if you have a specific niche market, like Purple Gorilla does. To go green can mean many things depending on your business but it basically comes down to adopting new and sustainable ways of consuming energy that don’t drain the planet of it’s natural resources nor render it.

Association Green is the Green Initiatives Division of Organization Management Group Inc. OMG supports for-profit and non-profit organizations. Association Green, AG for short, main goal is to create the opportunity for companies to network, educate and locate resources on becoming environmentally responsible.

There are many companies out there that want to go green but they don’t know how. That’s why associations like Association Green are important in today’s corporate like structure.

The research link on the AG site is an excellent source of links for companies who are researching their possibilities of going green. Most of time companies want to go green or they’re considering it but the big question is where to they start; now these companies have a starting point to start their green movement.

For Purple Gorilla AG can assist in many ways and organic clothing will be our first step. We’re a company that spreads the word on Social Good so we’ll be regarded as hypocrites if we don’t embrace the green movement to the fullest.

Regular cotton production uses about 25% of the world’s insecticides and more then 10% of the pesticides, so by using organic cotton or recycled cotton we’re able to reduce these numbers. Good news for the market is that the organic cotton industry is growing every year so environmental damage can be reduced.

Associations like the Green Association is a critical factor in the Social Good industry today. Via the association companies can network and unite to make even a larger effort to reducing environmental damage.
