A survey of business owners has revealed that some believe the importance of environmental issues is "completely overblown" for small firms and is used as an excuse for higher taxation.

The survey of small business owners reports that there is an almost even split between firms that have undertaken measures towards improving environmental performance, such as recycling and energy efficiency measures, and those that haven't.

This is a difficult issue for small businesses at a time of economic recession. However there are grants available to help them lower their carbon footprint and anecdotal evidence indicates that companies that do have a 'green policy' improve profitability in other areas.
The business owners who believe it to have been "overblown" are, unfortunatley, just representative of the population at large.
The "Green Issue" cannot be overblown, especially the Greenhouse gas issue. The problem has been that it is incredibly difficult to get an understanding of what any individual body or preson should do first to make biggest contribution. If you want some help in this area, I have some good contacts I can give you.
