About "going green", don't you feel that a consistent program based on audits (such as ISO14001) is far more effective at permanent behavior change than a broad list of hints, or a home-grown program? I've just discussed the problem of "green PR" with friends, and I'm thinking that many approachs to environmental change fail to prevade companies at a depth that meaningful change takes place.
