Just because the trend is currently a "GREEN" one; it does not mean that shareholders are the solution to irresponsible and polluting business practices. Especially when the only thing that shareholders see is the green in the dollar they recieve for their investment. Rather, these articles would be far more valuable, thorough, and worth reading if they hit the bottom line of the topics discussed here. Is it not obvious that the consumer, the average 'Jack and Jill,' are the ultimate source of "green" activism and implementation???? For as long as I can remember, supply is driven by demand, and I know of very few companies that exist for anything but profit in their bottom line and that or their shareholders. It’s not the shareholder’s that should be shaping the decisions of a comapny, besides the shareholder’s are only looking out for their investment, at whatever cost.
