  Environmentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Environmentalism is the philosphical concern that humans may be damaging the natural environment, and that this damage may adversely impact people.
In modern times, environmentalism has spawned the environmental movement, which stresses issues such as industrial and other pollution, species extinction, preservation of biodiversity, waste management and recycling, global climate change, ozone depletion, and genetically engineered organisms.
The Environmental Movement (a term that sometimes includes the conservation and green movements) is a diverse scientific, social, and political movement.

 Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Products from OneSource
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a program that has recently gained momentum in building practices throughout the United States.   Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, it establishes standards for sustainable buildings.  It also strives to promote integrated, whole-building design practices and recognizes environmental leadership in the building industry.
While the crux of using environmentally friendly cleaning products is about reducing health risks -- for humans and other living things -- the process provides other benefits to the facility.  Green procedures, including proper use, storage and disposal of materials, actually reduce the likelihood and frequency of fires, explosions, spills and splashes.
Environmentally friendly cleaning products are less hazardous and reduce the risk that janitors, the facility or an occupant will be harmed by the product.

 Environmentally Friendly Boat Engines
Conventional carbureted 2-stroke outboard motorboat engines allow as much as 20-30 percent of the fuel used to pass directly to the air or water, releasing toxic and carcinogenic materials to the environment.
Working with industry to address this problem, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed regulations in 1996 that will result in a 75 percent reduction of hydrocarbon emissions by 2025 from spark-ignition gasoline marine engines (including outboard engines, Personal Watercraft engines, and jet boat engines).
As a result, today's 4-stroke and Direct Fuel Injection 2-stroke engines are substantially cleaner, reducing fuel costs for the boater and protecting the environment.
