It seems of late as if every company in America has introduced a new environmental initiative.

I couldn’t disagree more.

By expanding the program to include our partners and vendors we have seen even greater impact.

Real change can happen when broad groups of people band together for a common goal.

With the earth heating up, ice caps melting and oceans rising, we can’t wait.

We’ve tapped experts includingClean Air-Cool Planet,NativeEnergy, andConservation Internationalfor guidance and research.

We will continue with activities such as instituting recycling, subsidizing commuter travel and assessing office equipment.

Employees understand that more sweeping changes can be made by a group of 2,000 people working in unison.

We have been inspired by the way the technology industry has in many ways led this green charge.

I salute NEC for its innovative recycling andtree planting program.

And I laud Intel for its use of renewable resources and reduction in waste.

I’m proud to be part of an industry that has placed such astrong commitment to being environmentally responsible.

How can anyone say corporations don’t have a role here?

We are all stakeholders in this planet.

We all care about its future.
