Minding The Green

The Flier recently profiled a local Web company called Green Connected. Here's how the newspaper described the company's mission:

The site was launched in October 2007 by Del Karfonta, a vice president of Columbia Bank, as a networking tool for companies that claim or seek to be environmentally friendly and that want to do business with other such companies in Howard County and nationwide.

Karfonta was chairman of the Howard County Chamber of Commerce from 2005 to 2006. Right now, the site appears to be a kind of Yellow Pages for the green crowd. As such you get listings, but little independent judgment of the quality of the firms themselves. But the site is still relatively new. It'll be interesting to see how it evolves.
