Hip-Hop & The Green Movement

GREEN FOR ALL

Green For All  just released another video that merges the hip-hop community and the green movement.  The mission for Green For All is to "build an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty."  

I speak frequently about the disconnection between the green movement and different economic classes.  I believe Green For All's mission spans beyond class and reaches out to the youth.  By merging with youth-oriented entertainment communities such as hip-hop, I expect to see more awareness with this age group.


According to the book, The New Rules of  Green Marketingcomputer savvy millennials are very responsive to the green movement; and more likely to relate global warming to human activities and purchase green and organic products.    I truly hope to see entertainment, corporate, and non-profit organizations channel their efforts into "greening" urban communities!
