As you&#8217;ll see simply by the number of posts, the idea seems to be catching on&#8230; so look for an even bigger edition next week at <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechies.com\/\">Cleantechies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I&#8217;m kind of \u00a0a geek for reporting standards &#8212; written about a number of them over the years in various places &#8212; so I really like Jen Boynton&#8217;s Triplepundit post on why the Global Reporting Index should become the framework for sustainability reporting. But, since they&#8217;re our partners on this whole carnival thing, let me also give a shout-out to <a href=\"http:\/\/vivbizclub.com\/blog\/2010\/03\/13\/compostable-vs-biodegradable\/\">Dinesh Thirupuvanam&#8217;s post<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/vivbizclub.com\/blog\/\">Viv Biz Club<\/a> on the use of &#8220;compostable&#8221; and &#8220;biodegradable&#8221; as product qualifiers&#8230; and what they actually mean.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to join the fun, make sure to submit a relevant post from your own blog for upcoming carnival&#8217;s through the form at Triplepundit. And if you&#8217;d like to host the Carnival sometime in the future, check our <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/green-business-blog-carnival\/\">schedule<\/a> and let me know.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><em>Looking for more green business inspiration?
