The Business of Green

Auden Schendler is true-blue green, a life-long environmentalist, a climate crusader, says Time magazine.

Schendler believed, with every fiber of his being, that American corporations could save the planet and reap profits at the same time. But when he put that faith to the test, he found turning green into greenbacks is harder than he thought.

Now, he's come forward to tell it how it really is, trying to go green in corporate America.
