		<title>Are Companies&#8217; Actions Truly Green, or Simply Green Reactions?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is currently all the rage for companies to introduce environmentally friendly products, or change their methods of production to include measures to protect the environment.&#160; However, it is obvious that these actions are not done without a motive to increase sales or save money, especially given the current economic situation.&#160; This motive explains the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ecocoach.wordpress.com&blog=1104787&post=786&subd=ecocoach&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
