As you can probaby see, I feel pretty strongly about corporate sustainability. It pleases me to no end that many companies are becoming much more responsible about their impact the environment and society--and I don't think it's just driven by Gen Y's! I'd like to think people of our generation are as passionate too. One thing that bothers me a lot as a consumer is, I can't stand to have to throw anything away. Hence, I try to recycle everything! We're down to less than one full bag of garbage a week and I still wish it was less. Oh and don't even get me started on going to the dump. Kills me to see what people just toss away thinking it will never be seen again. Really--how long <em>will </em>it take that old appliance to disappear from the face of the earth? Happy Earth Day!

Organizations will be able to distinguish themselves on the basis of green-ness on many levels. The business imperative is multifaceted, but perhaps the biggest driver is Gen Y's increased environmental awareness. Great post, Terri!
