Audio Blog Posts

Sometimes I get too worked up to type; too caught up to use a keyboard. Commentaries surface so quickly, the only way to vent them properly is by giving them a voice. Breaking news that needs a bit of banter, a touch of thinking out loud. Stories I think you need to hear about, literally. For me, the BuriedLogic Audio blog posts are the only way to go. Recorded onboard my Mobile BaseCamp and posted to BuriedLogic using the latest in satellite technologies from MotoSat, it's a way to share with you some thoughts off the top of my head and from the back of my mind. Hit the Audio speaker button, sit back and strap in.

Return 2 Vendor
Return To Vendor

Are you familiar with the term “Return to Vendor?”

It references a malfunctioning, damaged or defective product. Once identified, the faulty product needs to be removed from the retail store by returning it to its original vendor. Got to get it off the shelves! You have a piece of defective gear, you return it.

When you show a depraved, brutal indifference to Human Life, you in turn, set your shelf life.

When your actions evince a vicious disregard for the life of another, you have an expiration date.

At Buried Logic, we would be very interested in the person or people you would nominate to be Returned 2 Vendor.

NOW IT IS YOUR TURN!

In a study conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, and summarized in Packaging Digest in Feb 2009:

“Four out of five people say they are still buying green products and services today – which sometimes cost more – even in the midst of a U.S. recession.”

“Half of the 1,000 people surveyed say they are buying just as many green products now as before the economic downturn, while 19% say they are buying more green products.

Fourteen percent say they are buying fewer environmentally green products.”

“About one in three say they don’t know how to tell if green claims are true. One in 10 consumers blindly trust green product claims.”

“Consumers are verifying green claims by reading the packaging (24%) and turning to research (going online, reading studies, 17%).”

In an article from Brandweek in Feb 2009, quoting from a study by Mintel:

“A $17.7 million business in 2003, the Chicago-based market research company says the green cleaning category quadrupled sales to $64.5 million by 2008. by 2013, Mintel anticipates eco-friendly cleaners will do an astounding $623 million in business and account for 30 percent of the household cleaners market by then (compared with 3 percent last year)”.

“Green Works brought green cleaning products into mainstream supermarkets, which have seen green sales increase more than 170% from 2007-08 and market share rise 16 percentage points.”

As you can see green is growing rapidly. Many manufacturers want to claim their products are green. The only way to know for certain if a product is green is to look for products that are certified or recognized green by a third party.
