Going ‘Green’ is Good for Business, Exec Says

Tips for Companies Trying to Clean Up Their Act

Despite pressing economic worries, the environment remains a top concern for consumers the world over. And that means environmentally-friendly business practices are as necessary for the bottom line as they are for the planet, says Joe Veilleux, president of Euromed USA (www.euromedusa.com).

“Being a producer of natural ingredients for pharmaceuticals and health supplements, we’ve always held environmentalism as a major company value,” says Veilleux, a registered pharmacist.“We’re glad to see that, even when people face unemployment and other economic hardships, they’re still committed to green practices.”

ΤΙ ΝΑ ΣΕ ΠΩ;

Πώς θέλεις νά σέ πώ, καί τί νά σέ ονομάσω ,παπαδιά ή κυρά παπαδιά;

Παπαδιά σέ είπανε κι’ ακόμη σήμερα πολλοί Χριστιανοί παπαδιά σέ λέγουν

Τιμή σού αποδίδουνε, μάνα τής Εκκλησιάς σέ θεώρησαν καί μάνα σέ λογίζουν

Μά μού φαίνεται πώς πρεσβυτέρα προτιμάς, ή μήπως πρεσβύτιδα

Οπως ο Απόστολος τού Χριστού σέ λέγει, μαζί καί οι αρχαίοι χριστιανοί

Γερόντισα ιεροπρεπή καί καλοδιδασκάλα, τίς νέες στήν αρετή νά οδηγή

Προσθέτουν οι ιεροί πατέρες

Greece and the Balkan Wars Lecture Held at Transfiguration Church of Corona

By Catherine Tsounis

            “What did Greek-Americans do for Greece during the 1912 Balkan Wars?” asked Peter S. Giakoumis, keynote speaker at the Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Community of Corona event celebrating the 100 years of freedom of Macedonia, Epirus, Crete and the Aegean islands. “Four million dollars (9 million in U.S. currency today) was donated in 2007 for the Balkan wars. Fifty-seven thousand immigrants returned to Greece to fight for freedom. Those who survived returned to the United States to work and send funds back home, primarily to the Peloponnese.”
