What is George doing?

George is the CEO of a successful accounting firm. A few years ago, his business decisions focused only on the bottom line. After reading "Natural Capital" by Paul Hawken and Hunter and Amory Lovins, George started thinking about the environmental impacts of his decisions. Now he recognizes that doing what is right for the Earth is also right for his business; and his bottom line is growing.

George promotes alternative transportation to his workers by selling his business parking spaces at a premium and putting the money toward their use of public transit. His employees are happier because they're saving money and enjoying a more leisurely commute.

 

He also bought more efficient lighting for his office building and required that all PCs be shut down at night which resulted in a 40% reduction in his energy bill.
