Just finished reading Feb. issue of Professional Carwashing & Detailing and appears to me there are more pages with green ink than has been in the past.Seems most suppliers are going to green products they say (bucket lids and lettering are in green now,) but is the product inside any different than before the color was changed to green ?.
In this issue we are ask to join for a small fee WaterSaver's ,the International Carwash Association's environmental recognition and marketing program,( other than getting decals,certificates and copyright agreement to use the WaterSaver's Logo) I have yet to have a customer ask me if we are a environmental friendly carwash, they can see how the wash is keep up and if we are working to keep all waste water entrapped, and not allowing chemical to go into storm drains.
It seems to me that everywhere you look we see green something but the information that follows is only more of what most carwash owners do already. I know the environment is a concern for all including myself, it just appears to me that this green thing is more of a marketing thing than a real concern, reminds me of ( Y-2K).
Am I the only one who feels this way, or am I odd one here?
