Great to see the food/beverage industries getting involved with the environment – everyday I come across more and more products/industries getting involved like copiers, educational institutions and even banking. Banks like e3bank (a client of mine) offering a triple-bottom-line… incentivizing people to install eco-friendly features to their homes for better interest rates.
