Turn Your Tongue Green
Descend of digital conundrum from the cyberspace has converged the virtual world to fit into our screen. It has zapped our lifestyles to suit emerging global trends. Obviously our language, rather ‘lingo’ cannot remain aloof to the change. Languages are constantly undergoing a change; and the speed of its change is flabbergasting.
Nothing is alarming about the metamorphosis of the language that is used for personal communication. However, the corporate lingo is seeing a definite change that is more inclined to match the change in its ideology. Corporate ideology has achieved a green nuance to suit the changing need of the times. Eco-friendliness is the emerging keyword and a prerequisite to any future oriented corporate program.
Obviously, the corporate world has incorporated green words in its vocabulary. Any corporate trying to pitch in with new ideas and products must be well conversant and use these green words.
Eco-friendly: (You may be very friendly on the Facebook.) Your business is not happening if it’s not ‘eco-friendly’. In simple words, every aspect of your business must take care of our precious environment and ecosystem.
Green marketing: (It has nothing to do with buying spinach and lettuce.) Your marketing methodologies must use the bare minimum natural resources and minimize, if not eliminate in total, its adverse impact on the environment.
Global warming: (We aren’t talking about the summers.) It is a slow but certain rise in the atmospheric temperature over the years. It is proving detrimental to our planet’s eco-system. A socially responsible corporate must contribute to check this.
Green house gases: Certain gases viz. Chlorofluorocarbons, per-fluorocarbons and hydro fluorocarbons are responsible fro causing global warming. (You are not alone.) most of these gases are banned from use in most of the nations.
Carbon footprint: (We know that everybody wears shoes in your office.) This is the impact that your business leaves on the environment. It may be in the form of emissions, wastage or energy efficiency.
Well, using this green lingo will show your concern for the planet we live on. Further, keep yourself abreast of the changes in the lingo and yes… you are free to invent some of your own green words.
