The paper specifically looks at HP's green business technology initiative and describes the typical green or eco-friendly consumer.

From the Paper:
"Both business and consumer customers are more skeptical than ever, more suspicious of product claims given how many companies have made inflated claims about how their products can help the environment and really do not. Comparable to the groundswell that is occurring in social networking today (Bernoff, Li, 2008) the interest in green marketing is growing very rapidly due to high levels of concern over the future of the environment and specifically climate change, and the concern over natural resources being depleted at a consumption rate that will eventually lead to severe shortages. The accountability and transparency that is inherent in social networking (Bernoff, Li, 2008) is also the cornerstone of green marketing efforts. What is so powerful about the confluence of social networking and green marketing is the vigorous analysis of consumers of whether products that claim to be "green" or contribute to reducing mankind's impact on the environment actually do. The website greenwashingindex.com is an example of how at the intersection of social networking and the consumers' demand for transparency and accuracy there is the need to get to the truth of product claims. Skeptical, even jaded, consumers are turning to social networks and the Internet to validate the claims companies make of having green or sustainable products."Sample of Sources Used:
