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

Sustainability has proven to be a powerful motivator for consumers an effective way to lure shoppers to try new products. Our consumption habits were a lot more sustainable back in 1960, when we tossed out only 1.8 million tons of textiles. Levi’s vice president of social and environment sustainability, Michael Kobori, says the tool will be available “as soon as we can get everybody to agree” on how to publish and communicate it. Timberland started seeking out leather tanneries with more sustainable standards, says Betsy Blaisdell, Timberland’s senior manager of environmental stewardship. Energy efficiency, sustainability, and CSR consultants of various flavors and business models. Other forms of green training and education for businesses. Housing Works is like Goodwill, but I believe targets higher end clients in NYC.
