What are some companies that are conscious about sustainability and what are they doing that others could use as a model?

What are some companies that are conscious about sustainability and what are they doing that others could use as a model?

Timberland's, Levi’s, and Brooks had made many different changes to help the community go green. This Article had talked about in detail how these companies made some changes to help the community and go green.Timberland's had started to seek out new leather with more sustainable standards. Levi’s had changed its transportation routes to make them more efficient and reduce carbon emissions by 700 metric tons. They also cut back on packaging to allow only three pieces of labeling with jeans. Brooks had redesigned its show boxes after finding that the score wasn’t as high as they had hoped. So then they stopped stuffing the insides of shoes with tissue paper, along with many other changes. I believe that other companies can look at these stores and realize what they can reduce on or do to be more conscious about sustainability. They can also maybe find better idea that will maybe help these companies make more changes to help out not only their company but the environment. I believe that companies should make many changes to go green to help the world. What do you think? Do you agree or do you disagree?

I believe that they should change the way that they do things in the stores and that other stores should follow with them because they are save the lives of trees and everything else around the world. so yes i do agree with what you have stated in the post.
