From the Paper:

"In this age of environmental consciousness, ecological awareness permeates many aspects of our daily life. We worry about the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the pollution our cars generate, and the desecration of our environment in the name of progress. Although many people analyze their individual lives and look for opportunities to be environmentally responsible, few people carry this same perspective into their workday life. What they do in the office or the focus of the business they work for seems to be set apart from their need for environmental conservatism. However in the growing quest of improving the world's environment, more attention is being given to the impact of business on our surroundings. The line between the environmentalism in the private sector and the compliance of businesses to conservation measures in the commerce sector has blurred. While many industries, such as power plants and the chemical industry, are seen as necessary evils of modern society, organic farms, ecotourism, and other environmentally conscious businesses are receiving notoriety. However in light of our modernistic society, our extreme reliance on electricity, mobility, and communication, there is doubt that any business can be termed completely green or sustainable."
