Politics going green |
As we near towards election season and the Democratic National Convention here in Denver, there’s always one colorful question remaining. Blue or red?
According to AdAge, Florida-based Catalina Marketing is now adding green to that mix. They recently conducted a research study linking Republican and Democratic states to their environmentally-friendly behaviors. Turns out the blue states are purchasing eco-friendly and organic products at grocery stores in larger quantities than red states. However, according to Catalina’s website , our typically Republican population in Colorado has some of the highest green shoppers in the nation, even higher than eco-happy California. Local politicians are getting into green activity too. The Denver Post recently highlighted four regional candidates that feature wind turbines in their TV ads.
Even if blue trumps red in enviro-friendliness, green is making a huge impact on the entire nation. Over the last two years, green product sales have doubled and will continue to soar in the years to come. So whatever your political preference may be, it looks like green isn’t going anywhere.
