Tommy Lee and Ludacris Promote Planet Green TV

I finally got to see the commercial for Planet Green TV starring Tommy Lee and Ludacris.  While I still don’t see what value this pair brings to Planet Green other than being well-known names, I do think the commercial is funny and a good setup for the duo’s upcoming reality show, “Battleground Earth.”

GM’s Chevy - A Green Brand?

I’ll bet you never thought you’d hear the words “Chevy” and “green brand” in the same sentence, but that’s exactly the image General Motors (NYSE: GM) is trying to create in the rebranding of Chevrolet.

Blog Action Day: The Environment & Marketing

Today is Blog Action Day where bloggers around the internet will be blogging about the same topic.  This year that topic is the environment.  In keeping with that theme, I read a disappointing article at GreenBiz.com this week that shows consumers are experiencing “Green Fatigue Due to Lack of Awareness and Economic Worries.”

Being a truly green brand

I won’t say any brand names in this post, not because I don’t like talking negatively or positively (for that matter) or brands, but just for the mere reason that this post can really adapt and fit into any brand worldwide who is considering going green, or being pro-environment one way or another.
