green

I love the NBA. And I enjoyed it even more during NBA Green Week (April 1-9, 2010), during which the basketball league partnered with the Natural Resources Defense Council "in an effort to generate awareness and funds for protecting the environment."

I had heard that the Olympics made a push this year to go green. I saw little of it on the news or in the media. But after reading this I was surprised how much was done (or at least attempted). The IOC and the folks in Vancouver made some very valiant efforts, but there's still a ways to go. I wonder what new steps will be taken in 2012 in London?

One of Tribe's very first tasks as a newly-formed agency was to tackle a project together as a team. Serendipitously, along came Mary Bersagel. Mary, a former nurse who, after facing a life-threatening illness, decided to take the entrepreneurial leap and create a company that reflects her environmental values. The result is an eco-friendly cleaning service that uses people- and pet-friendly solvents, sustainable cleaning materials, ergonomic cleaning techniques and a well-trained staff.
