I raise this question because today during the course of my daily URL harvest I found myself getting tangled between -uh- my accessibles and my sustainables. Perhaps it's because so many of these companies and online communities seem so similar in tone. Then I started to think some more about it...if the mark of a responsible website is a screen-reader friendly structure, and the mark of great hardware is that it doesn't break down to nuclear waste...friendly to users, friendly to the earth, you don't see a connection? Maybe I'm a flower child, but I think there's a growing connection. It's quiet, and maybe it's got a long way to go, and it's got a lot of profiteering obstacles, but it's there. Have you really not seen a single company that isn't committed to accessibility AND sustainability?
