FORT COLLINS, CO. - October 14, 2008 - Locavore, agri-tourism, eco-sphere? If these terms don’t sound familiar yet, they are part of the new lexicon of leading environmental trends, according to a report released today by the company GenGreen(TM) LLC. The first ever State of the Green Union is released today on their website, GenGreenLife.com, the nation's largest online resource that makes local sustainable living easy for conscious consumers everywhere.

The exclusive article highlights developing trends in the environmental movement, while recognizing a select group of independent businesses and service providers that are demonstrating these positive trends across the country.

The Fall 2008 edition focuses on the following:

• Organic Everything...Featuring Organic Breweries: The burgeoning organics industry makes it easier for shoppers to find organic versions of just about anything, including beer from breweries large and small. They’re dedicated to sustainable production, socially and environmentally responsible practices, and making great tasting beer.

• Locally-Sourced Eating: Consumers that question where their food is coming from and why it’s being shipped long distances instead of being locally-produced now have an answer. Becoming a locavore is all the rage and restaurants across the nation are reacting by using exclusively local and sustainably-sourced goods.

• Agri-Tourism: Blending environmental education and green business, specialized agricultural destinations are a fun and entertaining way to educate people about how their food is harvested.

With a unique vantage point on trends in green consumer products, businesses and services, GenGreen has defined the latest trends, helping to generate buzz for the businesses making it happen.
