Increasing focus on resource efficiancy and climate change
                        In a global marketplace, "green" may well become the new global language. Worldwide, the pace of legislation and policy initiatives focused on green issues is clearly picking up Between July 2008 and February 2009, for example, 250 climate-change regulations were enacted globally as governments, both emerging and developed, hastened the implementation of policies to support clean technologies (cleantech). Mandatory standards on efficient energy consumption, biofuels, vehicle emissions and eco-labeling are going into effect in greater numbers than in previous years.
