There have been a wide variety of initiatives, product designs, and marketing campaigns by many companies touting their Green products. But there have also been some objections to the Green initiative by several groups who say that products labeled Green are not really as environmentally-friendly as they can be. Also, some technologies seem to be more environmentally friendly but only transfer the environmental impact to another location, such as hybrid cars which require more electricity from power plants, increasing the environmental footprint of the power plant in exchange for lower car emissions. </STRONG></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F07DED10-971C-47CA-86F9-E7F6B35A008D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
