our company is a green certified carpet cleaning system using the world-wide method called Host, the dry extraction carpet cleaning system. I was delighted to see these statistics on green services and products are being more freguently purchased. I have advertised as a green certified company, and with that my sales from the yellowbook have noticably gone done compared to other advertising that does not emphasize green certifide, My conclusion is that the consumer may feel that being green certified is more expensive or a political statement. I just wanted to give you that input, I still will continue to use these advertising slogans and these statistics gave me confidence to keep on pushing with green advertising. Sincerely, Deborah Nabozny, Lady Bug Carpet Care, Longmont, CO
