				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scott Allen, one of my favorite entrepreneur watchers, reports on some news from his favorite <a class="zem_slink" title="Business" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business">business</a> trend newsletter, <a href="http://trendwatching.com/">Trendwatching</a>, which has a huge edition this <img class="alignright" src="http://fleetmatics.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/300px-holding_a_green_globe.jpg" alt="" width="176" height="176" />month on <a class="zem_slink" title="Environmentally friendly" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentally_friendly">green</a> business trends they&#8217;re calling &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="ECO (MDA)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECO_%28MDA%29">ECO</a>-BOUNTY&#8221;.</p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve mentioned, I&#8217;m launching a site or two on &#8220;green biz&#8221;, so I&#8217;m trying to keep up with what&#8217;s out there.  In<a href="http://entrepreneurs.about.com/b/2009/03/09/12-green-consumer-trends-mean-business-opportunity-for-eco-entrepreneurs.htm"> 12 Green Consumer Trends Mean Business Opportunity for Eco-Entrepreneurs</a>,  Scott tells us:</p>
<div class="entry">
<blockquote><p>ECO-BOUNTY refers to the numerous opportunities, both short and long term, for brands that participate in the epic quest for a sustainable society. Some of these opportunities exist despite the current <a class="zem_slink" title="Recession" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession">recession</a>, others are fueled by it, not in the least because of new rules and regulations. Downturn-obsessed brands who lose their eco-focus will find themselves left out in the cold when the <a class="zem_slink" title="The Global Economy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Global_Economy">global economy</a> starts recovering.</p></blockquote>
<p>The opportunities abound, and it&#8217;s not all being done by big companies. Innovative entrepreneurs are developing a wide range of green products and services, including: <a class="zem_slink" title="Solar panel" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel">solar-panel</a> shading systems, eco-friendly supercars, handbags made from old gym equipment and airplane seats, green education and tips for homes and businesses, bicycle and <a class="zem_slink" title="Carsharing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carsharing">car sharing</a>, eco-friendly <a class="zem_slink" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing">marketing</a> and even adult toys.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://trendwatching.com/trends/pdf/trendwatching%202009-03%20ECOBOUNTY.pdf">download a PDF of the briefing</a> or browse the trends online:</p>
