  Open my eyes I do every morning, As I see the first rays of sunlight, As I hear the first choir of birds singing, And as I feel the first prayers offered to the ‘Creator’. To the inevitable truth I then surrender, That a new day has arrived! A new day, a new beginning for many; A new adventure in schools for children like me; A new opportunity for them to learn and discover; A whole new world for them to explore and share; … Where strangers become friends. … Where exists not amongst them much difference.

  Kabir: Hi Ramesh. I have to discuss an important matter with you. Could you please help me? Ramesh : Of course Kabir. What is it?  Kabir : I plan to begin an independent business concern of my own. But being an ecologically sensitive person myself, I wish to showcase my environmental concerns in my work too. Could you please advise me on how to do so? Ramesh : Simple! You can follow the concept of “ Green Marketing .” Kabir: What is “ Green Marketing ?”  Ramesh: G reen marketing is the marketing of products that are mostly not harmful to the environment. It includes many activities, like product conversion, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as innovations in advertising. It is also the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe.
