Great article! It is awesome to see yet another industry doing its part and getting involved in the whole green movement. I just read an article earlier today about Sony Pictures Studios and what they have been doing also. Even banking is beginning to think of the environment, with 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.
