This post is to recognize the many companies taking time to go green. It isn't always easy to be green in the business world because the majority of actions are taken on the basis of financial impact. So, kudos to the following companies for taking the first steps in making it a greener place for all of us!
Hallmark, which is probably one of my favorite companies, is also greening things up. They print a number of their greeting card lines on recycled paper, as well as use recycled packaging. They use trees from sustainable forests and just started a new line of cards made with stock from 50% sugar cane pulp/50% recycled paper. Visit their Environmental Responsibility page to read about the many other ways they are keeping it green!
Drs. Foster and Smith Pet Supplies is a catalog and Internet based company that offers products selected by their veterinarians. They have a wonderful variety of pet products for dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, small pets, & more! They have made the jump into the green by producing starch packing peanuts. They are completely biodegradable and dissolve in water. They also use cardboard shipping boxes made up of 75% recycled material. Not too shabby! Check out some of their environmentally friendly products, which they are always updating.

deodorants, and soaps while doing their part to save the planet.

number of delicious beers while maintaining an Eco-friendly attitude. They have recently installed a fuel-cell generator, have developed a biodiesel from their own waste products that is used in delivery trucks, and in 2006 were designated a Climate Action Leader by the state of California. See how SNBC has set the standard for green-brewing that other breweries should take note of.
These companies are ones that I enjoy supporting because they have wonderful products as well as a green conscious. I encourage you to take a closer look at the businesses you support and help make it a priority for companies to become more green. Make your impact!
