Why Kudzu is green

Kudzu. Am I crazy? Kudzu takes over hillsides, forest and is on the invasive species list. It can grow up to a foot a day in the growing season. How can Kudzu be green?

On the other hand you add .com to it and it is green. Kudzu.com is a web service where you can find relevant information regarding service provider and contractors. So why is kudzu green? Well, since they are web based, they can reach hundreds of thousands of potential customers and guide them to contractors. This saves time and money. Clients can rate the contractors and look up services that they need with in seconds. The contractors do not even have to pay to be on the site, however they do have the opportunity to upgrade their listing. There are advertising spots on kudzu for service providers to get better positioning, but clients can still find and rate and contractor that they want for free!!

So what else make them green? They do have a green business section promoting green services. If you are looking for green pest control, well you can find it on kudzu.com. I think they even have a green service for killing kudzu on your property!

Finally, most print media is shiny and pretty, but it is not the greenest way to advertise. The chemicals used in print media can be bad for indoor air quality and it is difficult to recycle glossy paper. Kudzu.com does not use ink or paper!!
