|
By Marc Stoiber on GreenBiz.com
While working on a global launch of a green household product, I had the opportunity to speak to the project chemist about the product's truly revolutionary ingredients.
"It’s incredible that you could come up stuff like this -- it’s so much less harmful for the planet, and works as well as the old stuff. How long did it take to develop it?’"I asked.

Energy Efficiency: Innovative Approaches. Proven Solutions |
|
By Barry Worthingon, Executive Director, United States Energy Association (USEA)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson – a major speaker at last year’s Energy Efficiency Forum – said recently, “In the clean energy future, energy efficiency is action number one.”

And again this year – for the 21st year in a row – the Energy Efficiency Forum will help advance that important cause.
