What defines "green" is so broad, although the concept is not new, it is very trendy and often without definition. When looking at references from a consultant ask for a resume as well as a client/project list.
Often times you'll find folks or companies claiming to be a green consultant because they took a 1-2 week long course. Certifications are great, especially for continuing education reasons... but look for a degree in Natural Sciences AND Business Management. Only recently have universities started to offer "green" degrees, so I would not consider them 100% proven. It all comes down to experience AND education.
