Green Status of US Companies

Mercury News article on Green Grades for companies. There is no unified standard for companies going green. I would go further and ask where is the incentive for going green for a company? Lots of companies claim to be green, but how green are they really? How big a priority is this for a company? My guess is most companies do the minimum so they can claim Green Status, and continue business as usual. Paper use is increasing per the report - so much for the paperless office that was promised with computers. If a company goes zero waste, that is impressive.

Green buildings are fascinating, but from what I have read this area is still developing and having a few growing pains along the way.
