"Enviro-mentalist", I love it and may use it one day if you don't mind. I think that tag indicates the difference between doing the right thing and doing the smart thing. Certainly saving the planet is a smart thing to do but reducing costs, securing and retaining customers and presenting a better/greener corporate image also have tremendous value. Making money and saving the earth can be and must be done simultaniously or it simply won't work, at least not for very long. We can always count on our regular readers like you for an insightful and straight forward response. Thanks Mark and have a great 2009! Dennis Mark.

It tells you what's the right thing to do after close examination (analysis!) because it is economically and environmentally sensible, not because a bunch of people with signs, web pages and/or foundation money say "do it for the planet!" Bravo - a great demonstration of the difference between "environmentalist" and "enviro-mentalist." ;-) Dennis:
