Honesty is generally the best policy. British Petroleum is working with the Environmental Defense Fund to reduce carbon dioxide pollution. Union Carbide has a new biodegradable industrial detergent for washing grease-stained uniforms. As executives become increasingly aware of the problems associated with threats to the environment and a global population growth rate of 20,000 more people every hour, they're devoting more time and energy to the greening of their companies. The more people, the more fossil fuels burned, the more carbon dioxide, the warmer the planet.
Many executives say that environmental factors are now a part of virtually every decision.
Many environmental scientists believe there is an urgent need for concerted efforts by corporations and governments to protect our planet and keep it green. People who have more flexibility will go the extra mile.
