Looks like being green is good for the economy after all.

Solveclimate.com reported on a non profit group called Next 10 and their ‘Green Innovation Index’ drawing the link between California’s climate change action and that state’s economicย growth.

Surprise, surprise (not), looks like California has incurred some major economic benefits from going green, including the fact that Californians pay less on their utility bills and so far have saved $56 billion dollars through tough building and applianceย standards.
