Opportunities

• Global warming report video, a link to


StopGlobalWarming.org, and a list of the top 10 things you
can do to help global warming.

• Responding to consumer concern and also reach the eco-


friendly market

Threats
• Competitors:

• Trade Barriers

• Changing Trends
– Majority of sales comes from designer jeans, if designer
jeans go out of style diesel could see a very large drop in
sales
