environmental business — English

Any gainful private enterprise involving any aspect of the environmental industry. In its broadest sense the term includes any business from a firm of landscape architects or environmental impact analysts, to explorers searching for historical (cultural) artefacts in a certain natural area, to garden services, running of an eco-lodge or a bed-and-breakfast where nature hikers could spend a night, guides who lead visitors on game-drives, a small ice cream booth at a world heritage site, and even event organisers who specialise in organising large international environmental conferences. The important thing is that these businesses are aimed at making money from some environmentally related activity or other.
