Four Green Trends Set in 2008 Which Set Us on a Better Eco-path for 2009 MY OPINION!

This is a decent article. I liked the facts that it had and that it pointed out four ‘trends’ of 2008. The trends, though, are more about energy problems that were big issues of this past year. It doesn’t really answer my about what types of trends are really Eco-friendly and which ones aren’t. This article had good information about the awareness of global problems and how they have become known in public. I think this article was moderately helpful because it did talk about trends and how they will help make the future greener.
