Green Business Blog Carnival – Week 5

It’s Friday. It’s five o’clock somewhere. It’s also the 5th week of the Green Business Blog Carnival, a traveling series of green business news, commentary, and insight. Next Friday, check out the carnival at Green Marketing TV.

Grab yourself a margarita and enjoy the show…..

We need water to survive and no doubt need water to produce the things we eat, the energy we use, and just about everything else you can imagine. Luckily, Green Energy World’s Subhash Chandra Mathur reminds us that the energy-water nexus is real and raises serious concerns that need to be dealt with.

Are you too lazy to compost? Well no need to worry. Over on the Sundance Channel, Jeff McIntire-Strasburg has compiled a good list of companies that will do the composting for you. No more worms for you.

Have you wanted to gain insight from green thought leaders, but didn’t want to pay a small fortune to attend a conference. Nick Aster at triplepundit has compiled a number of video interviews from Sustainable Brands 2010 on topics ranging from green hotel certification to green product development.

Greenwashing – there seems to be a lot of it. At Learning in the Corporate Sector, Ryan Tracey explores shades of green and how companies can integrate environmental sustainability into their strategic plan.

Builiding energy efficient and sustainable facilities is all the rage these days. Over at Green Economy Post, Keith Pehl explores some of the challenges in designing and building sustainable facilities. LEED Platinum, here we come!

Data centers are energy hogs. Over at Green Marketing TV, Lorna Li teaches us what green web hosting is all about and identifies some of the options available.
