Sustainability in all aspects of life is here to stay. Individually we play an integral part in preserving the planet and securing it’s resources for our children’s future.
Today businesses, organizations and service industries have begun participating in environmentally-friendly activities to ensure that they have adequately addressed environmental concerns. When we promote sustainability within a business it creates value for customers, investors, and our environment.
A sustainable business or service meets the needs of the planet by treating the environment well. Below are 5 of my favorite eco-friendly businesses or services that focus on educating, supporting and preserving our environment.

Thank you for presenting those sites. I am guessing that some of them are new, but they are also very developped and informative!
I must also say that the image of the frog gripping on planet earth is really cute!

Thank you Anto!
Yes, many businesses are striving to be sustainable and we’re looking forward to promoting them.
2010 is off to a great start.
Frogs are a favorite of mine, and this one was especially cute.
