A look at Chevron's website (www.chevron.com) will give you a whole host of ways in which the company is improving the environment while still posting record profits from the exploitation of oil. Notably, their list of awards are from governments like Nigeria and Indonesia. And the award from Indonesia wasn't even an environmental award, it was for "Most Admired Company". Do they really want us to believe that they are being environmentally friendly and support the development of alternative fuels when they make billions of dollars in profits from our dependence on oil? A case of greenwashing? I think so.

Most of us realize how businesses and corporations are wasting precious resources. I recently came across an excellent document produced by the UNEP Working Group for Cleaner Production that details different ways businesses can save money while reducing waste. Imagine that! These are win-win solutions that are so easy it makes one wonder why these practices are not required. While this particular article is directed at food service industries, some of these tips can be utilized by virtually any business and/or home. At the end of the document there are case studies of different business that outline their eco-friendly practices including an estimate of the money saved in a one year period. After the testimonials there is a list of "usefull resources and contacts." Check it out!! http://www.p2pays.org/ref/40/39472.pdf
