When is the ROI that you speak of realized? Businesses are run by people, people out to make money. These people have an average life span of about 77 years, if they are Americans. Why would a businessman care about affects his business has on the environment 300 years from now? Money has an amazing power to consume. Even a business person who genuinely cares about the environment, more times than not would pick the almighty dollar first, even at the expense of the environment. Seems to me "business against nature" is a pretty decent description of this dynamic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149252 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
