Companies are touting their "green" in an effort gain
customers and raise awareness of their eco-responsible ways.
AMD got into the act earlier this month with billboards
launching in Times Square and Silicon Valley that feature a
ticker of cost savings in data centers using the Sunnyvale-based
chipmakers Opteron processor. And non-tech companies like
Wal-mart are
following suit by announcing strategies to save electricity
and cut $300 million in fuel costs per year from their budget.
On his way to the Greentech Innovation Network conference in San
Francisco Sun Microsystems founder and now Kleiner Perkins
partner Bill Joy says to bet on
green technology as the next big thing, commenting to
BusinessWeek that ["Even] the garbage stream has a high
value."
A whole
roundup of the trend toward green-ness was featured last week
in a special section in the NYTimes.
