I was reading a post by Dennis Howlett “The state of green, 2008” which discusses a recent report “The State of Green Business, 2008“. The aim of the report is to explore the question “How are U.S. businesses doing in their quest to be greener and more environmentally responsible?” and offers a set of indicators to monitor and track progress.
