As I've said on a topic like this before, the only way you are ever going to get the world to 'go green' is to make it profitable. No amount of Kyoto conferences or pictures of Arctic ice shrinkage is going to stop The Man happily burning coal over renewables, or releasing huge amounts of pollution. You have to give these people a cost incentive or they'll just stay with the status quo. Why on Earth should small businesses try to go eco-friendly, probably putting themselves at a cost-disadvantage, when the huge international firms do nothing of the sort?

Once you make it profitable for industries to favour environmentally friendly methods of production then the whole world will follow suit. How you do this is the problem, however.
