It is very long, I will not copy and paste it all, but there's some fantastic information here; http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/Green-Manufacturing-Practices-help-profits-and-planet-597279.
"Here's a couple of excerpts: More U.S. Firms Going Green, Yet Effort Must Grow
By Gerald Shankel, President and CEO
Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International
It's a perfect storm - but a positive one. Two strong forces today are converging in the U.S. manufacturing sector that can deliver a whirlwind of benefits for those companies - and the environment. First, at long last, American industrial executives are recognizing the importance of preserving and enhancing the use of our precious natural resources through green energy practices in a vast array of manufacturing applications. Second, it's now apparent to most manufacturers that this altruistic perspective, unlike many, can positively impact bottom lines and deliver cost-saving benefits short term and long term"

And how about this for the business side of green: "The school's program, launched in early 2010, already has produced numerous real-life results. One example: Two students reviewed a local company's overhead doors and the efficiency of door heaters. They provided design solutions that involved differential steam control valves and proximity sensors to automatically operate the doors. An initial investment of $5,100 now generates annual energy savings of $28,400."
Is that a fantastic return on investment?
If you have a similar story of green--investment in sustainability with good ROI--we want to hear it and profile the story.
Look for Renewable Now to start getting launched on radio (audio), TV and very big Internet TV sites.
