Just to add some more info to Martin and Stacey's posts. One of my favorite green sites www.greenbiz.com just posted an article about Marriott. They also just posted one about Wal-Mart and their greening efforts in China as well. There is also a new article on Ethical Brands associated with jewlery (e.g. non-blood diamonds)
Wal-mart: http://www.greenbiz.com/news/news_third.cfm?NewsID=55866
Marriott: http://www.greenbiz.com/news/news_third.cfm?NewsID=55860
Ethical Brand Jewelry: http://www.greenbiz.com/news/reviews_third.cfm?NewsID=55850
Also if you like to get green info while you work out/commute. Greenbiz has free weekly podcasts on all sorts of topics that you can download to your iPod. Great for staying on top of various industry trends without adding to our reading lists. God I wish we had this for Strategy Case Studies :-)

Along the lines of greenbiz.com, I've been speaking with the founders of www.lowimpactliving.com who have been working to build the most comprehensive calculator to measure the environmental impact of individual homes. Once consumers use the calculator the site offers ways to reduce the impact and partners with eco-friendly companies to easily find home-based solutions.
As they continually work to improve the calculator and create an industry standard, they are asking for feedback from users to make targeted improvements. If you have an opportunity to take a look at the site and/or run the calculator, please send me some feedback, which I will consolidate with other student input and send to the founders.
