In total, this company has about 145 of these facilities and have reached its 2008 goal of converting 50% of their plants to zero waste. Reuse and Recycling have been the focus of their waste reduction.  Chevrolet, too, is reaching toward a more sustainable business by their plans to invest forty million dollars in clean energy projects with the end goal of reducing 8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. We celebrate these efforts and encourage our readers to look for ways that they too can improve the "green" efforts at their own desks. -- Referral Corner -- Cyclon...
