DIRECT SALES MARKET OUTPACES GDP FOR GROWTH

The direct selling market continues to grow in the United States and across the globe, providing evidence of the model's success in the modern day business marketplace.

According to Direct Selling Association's "Annual Growth & Outlook Survey," direct sales increased by 4.6 percent from 2010, totalling $29.87 billion in 2011 compared to $28.56 billion in 2010. DSA's findings also show that the industry grew more than the gross domestic product did over the same time period - the GDP only experienced a 3.9 percent increase over the same time frame.

"Growing a small business when the economy is struggling is a tall order," said DSA president Joseph Mariano. "As an industry that celebrates entrepreneurship, the achievements made in 2011, particularly by small direct selling companies, are remarkable."

Of all industries surveyed - which included industries such as home durables, personal care, wellness and clothing, according to the survey participation form - nearly 50 percent experienced major growth in sales. One particular standout was Viridian Energy, which received DSA's 2012 ETHOS Rising Star Award for 2012. Past recipients of the annual award include Team Beachbody, a wellness company that tailors meal and workout plans for its clients, and Rodan + Fields, a skincare product company. 

Green roof built for NY Post Office

Green roof built for NY Post Office

The U.S. Postal Service recently unveiled an 11,300-square-foot green roof installation in upstate New York, its second green roof to date, reported Environmental Leader.

The green roof construction consisted of verifying the soundness to support extra weight, fitting the roof with a new membrane, and installing layers of drainage sheet, mat, separation fabric, indigenous vegetation and a wind blanket.

The roof is expected to last roughly 50 years, and it will reduce the amount of contaminants in storm water runoff flowing into the municipal water system. The USPS said the roof should “help the post office reduce energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions.”

While the USPS sustainability report released on June 25 does show that the organization's carbon emissions rose 0.7 percent from 2010 to 2011 despite a decline in revenue, USPS is making other strides toward sustainability, with a target goal of cutting energy use by 30 percent by 2015. The green roof installation is part of the USPS’s “greener facilities strategy,” which incorporates the use of environmentally friendly building components and renewable materials, the installation of energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems, and the use of low-water fixtures in facilities, with some photovoltaic systems incorporation.
