Editor's Notes
I invented this GoGreen non profit to give the project a little bit more sense.
The idea is that we’re part of this nonprofit. GoGreen works to promote green businesses which usually are little business or start-ups that don’t have enough budget to make big marketing campaings to market their products. Then, this businesses can become members of GoGreen and participate in the collective programs to promote their products. Green Fair is the biggest project GoGreen does every year.
I invented this other “individual marketing program” which supposedly would help each business individually with a small marketing campaign for their product. From GoGreen’s point of view it implies less costs to do a collective event rather than do an individual marketing campaign for each company/organization.
