Here are a few things corporations are doing in celebration of Earth Day:

• Ziploc evolve sandwich and storage bags: Made with 25% less plastic and manufactured using wind power.
• Domino Sugar carbon free: Product's carbon footprint is rendered neutral by cutting green-house gases in growing and production.
• CVS/Pharmacy Earth Essentials Product Line: Included are room mists made from essential oils, paper products made from 100 percent recycled fibers, and disposable plates and bowls made from sugarcane.
• Home Depot Eco Page: Celebrates Earth Day with giving away 1 million free CFL Bulbs and sales on Energy Star appliances, organic seed packets, and more.
• Payless Zac & Zoe Green Shoe Brand: The collection offers shoes featuring organic cotton canvas, hemp, linen, EVA (non-PVC) foam beds, recycled rubber, and water-based glues.
• Big Green Cookbook: It is the first comprehensive, climate-conscious cookbook, ideal for both culinary novices and experienced cooks.
• NASA: The agency focuses on “Green Initiatives” has resulted in each NASA Center and test facility examining and implementing ways to produce and use renewable energy, conserve energy and water, and utilize environmentally friendly materials.

It's wonderful that such large corporations can make such efforts to improve their environmental impact, encourage customers to buy green, and help their marketing campaign in the process. I think we all should take a page from their playbook, small steps can make big waves (and we will feel better about ourselves).
