It is clear that every nation on earth has come to the conclusion that we need to work quickly to change how we live to protect our environment. Countries on every continent are working frantically to come up with ways to green their cultures. From Germany to China, India to Australia business is changing rapidly.

This is the creation of a new marketplace. New products, new methods of moving those products, new architecture, new agricultural practices, new packaging, the list is endless. Never before have green products and services been in such high demand. A perfect time for entrepreneurs with vision to become industry leaders.

But you don't need to a fortune to get started. Home based eco-businesses can be born with very little investment, by first catering to local markets. Start small and grow with the demand. But success will certainly come to those who act now.

There are organizations that offer green business classes. Organizations that help you rethink marketing and manufacturing to fit the growing demand for eco-friendly products. Micro Enterprise Solar Harvest, www.meshinc.org, in California is one such organization. They offer classes and even micro loans up to $1500.00 for entrepreneurs who are interested in starting green businesses.

There are also many organizations working overseas in India and Africa, helping to start eco-bakeries using solar ovens, or small farms selling organic produce. Solar Ovens International and other international organizations are helping entrepreneurs in developing countries to start eco-businesses for less than $100.00.

Micro Enterprise organizations exist throughout the United States and around the world to help entrepreneurs profit from the green revolution with very small initial investments. For more information on green business there are several websites such as hugg.org or accion.org that have information on green business opportunities.
