Consumers want to feel good about the products they buy, and are expecting more out of products they purchase and the companies that make them. Being "Green" is transitioning from the current hottest trend into an expectation. Businesses need to recognize that being "green" is not the only measure of being good, and that corporate social responsibility can and should extend deep into every pore of the business and the products it creates in many other ways.
