The sustainable strategies created by these dynamic, positive innovators–detailed in the individual "greenprints" within–will enlighten consumers about the degree to which they are working to reduce their carbon footprint and general impact on the environment and will inspire and instruct other businesses to implement their own environmental initiatives.
