Trendious -----> Eco'living in Company

The average person might believe that the worldwide push to "go green" is coming solely from politicians and concerned citizens. In fact, this is not the case! In recent years, many big-name companies have realized their way towards more sustainable and eco-friendly business practices. Following are 25 well-known companies that are leading the green revolution. In some cases willingly, in other cases somewhat unwillingly, but in all cases green. From my observation most people find "going gree" rather a bore than anything else ,think that Green is for the environmentilist and activists ,however today a "greener" life_style is well in order throuhg the help of some of the Top Major Campanies


1  Toyota

Toyota is famous for offering the Prius, the world’s first mass-market hybrid vehicle. The popular car is now sold in over 40 countries The Environmental Protection Agency has recognized Toyota’s efforts in the "green" en, crowning the Prius and its 48MPG as the most fuel-efficient car available for purchase in the U.S. Similar authorities in the United Kingdom have applauded the Prius, namely the UK Department of Transport, who ranked the vehicle as the third least carbon-emitting auto in the country.I however have'nt seen the car as celebrated in South Africa . Could we be moving into the Green at a slow pase?

2 Dell

Computer equipment has historically been one of the most difficult and costly products to safely dispose of. Fortunately, one of the major leaders in that field has stepped forward to make the task less daunting. Through its “no computer should go to waste” recycling program, Dell allows customers to return any Dell-branded product back to the company – for free. The company has even gone so far as to establish programs that accept computers, monitors, or printers from other companies for safe disposal, as well.

3. Hewlett-Packard



Another computing company staking its claim to greener pastures is Hewlett Packard. The company has gotten out in front of the computer disposal issue by owning and operating enormous “e-waste” recycling plants that shred discarded, obsolete computer products into raw materials that can be recycled into the industrial food chain. HP has also agreed to take back computer equipment of all brands, and taken steps to ensure that its own products are 100% recyclable in the manner discussed above. Furthermore, the company has promised to lower its energy consumption a full 20% by the year 2010.


4. Honda

Another car manifacture Honda has gone above and beyond in its environmental duties. Going so far as to call Honda “the most fuel-efficient auto company in the US”, CNN tells the story of how Honda is hard at work on the hydrogen fuel cell powered “FCX.” Honda is apparently also taking steps to create an entire infrastructure for hydrogen, looking forward to a day when – hopefully – more cars will be powered by that instead of gasoline. In addition to all of this, Honda has pledged to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 5% between 2005-010, and that’s not including that 5% it already achieved from 2000-2005.

5. Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola has narrowed down 3 environmental goals on which to focus their efforts: water stewardship, sustainable packaging, and climate & energy protection. Each of these initiatives is detailed and explained at their corporate website. In just a few years, Coca-Cola has already gotten itself involved in community recycling programs and a complete, sustainability-focused overhaul of its packaging designs.

organisation living green is a much rather exciting way for people to get involved in the movenent and as for the companies themslves its a great way of both informing their consumers and also a way of gain recognition as part og their CSI projects .
How far on do you think people still have to learn in order to full be "Green ?
