&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Georgia-Pacific PSO™ Program Increases Client Profitability in Tough Economy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comprehensive Evaluation Enables Packaging Process Optimization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Atlanta, GA (April 6, 2009) – Georgia-Pacific is helping industrial and consumer product companies through this tough economic environment with its Packaging Systems Optimization (PSO™) program, which identifies opportunities to streamline packaging operations to reduce total supply chain costs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PSO is an assessment tool that looks for sources of inefficiency and waste across the entire packaging supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution. The program comprises a rigorous process, wherein a team of packaging engineers analyzes areas including package design, material optimization, shelf impact and SKU consolidation, as well as line productivity, material handling and distribution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After an initial analysis, the Georgia-Pacific PSO team delivers a detailed report that clearly outlines areas where cost-savings may be achieved. Recommendations may include anything from developing new box design concepts and refining packaging prototypes to automating manual processes. A Total Cost Analysis (TCA™) report is then developed, which quantifies the total cost-savings for those opportunities that have been identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If comprehensively evaluated for efficiencies, the packaging process can be a source of considerable cost savings,” says Pat Smorch, director, packaging sustainability at Georgia-Pacific’s Innovation Institute®. “The PSO program was developed to look across the entire packaging supply chain, providing a holistic perspective on where modifications may be made.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The PSO process also supports sustainability efforts. Recommendations to streamline material handling and warehousing practices can lead to significant energy efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas reductions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The PSO program draws on the extensive in-house expertise and resources of Georgia-Pacific’s Innovation Institute, a creative, collaborative package design and innovation lab that simulates retail, warehousing and transportation environments. Georgia-Pacific’s engineering and design experts work together to identify opportunities to reduce supply chain costs, optimize package designs, increase shelf velocity and measure sustainability factors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;About PSO&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Georgia-Pacific’s PSO program was developed at Georgia-Pacific’s Innovation Institute, which simulates retail and packaging environments, allowing customers to experience sustainable innovation and novel package design solutions in action. Designed to facilitate break-through thinking and next-generation packaging solutions, the Innovation Institute helps customers realize the full value of their packaging investment.

&lt;/div&gt;Nearly 10 years ago, &lt;a href="http://hbr.harvardbusiness.org/"&gt;Harvard Business Review&lt;/a&gt; published &lt;a href="http://www.iterations.com/private/research/wef/dwnload_files/exec_global_warm.pdf"&gt;What Every Executive Needs to Know About Global Warming&lt;/a&gt; (Packard &amp;amp; Reinhardt, 2000).&amp;nbsp; The article continues to be relevant today and should be read by all managers and executives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The authors&amp;nbsp;encouraged businesses to look at climate change in terms of risks and opportunities.&amp;nbsp; Companies whose assets are affected by weather, such as insurance, real estate, agriculture, and tourism,&amp;nbsp;were warned to plan for the consequences of climate change.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And all&amp;nbsp;businesses, regardless of industry,&amp;nbsp;were encouraged to prepare for anticipated regulations to curtail practices believed to be&amp;nbsp;contributing factors to climate change; new opportunities may arise for a variety of companies and industries as a result of these changes.&amp;nbsp; The authors also advised companies to be honest and transparent with stakeholders and to be public about their intiatives toward climate change mitigation.&amp;nbsp; Lastly, they stated that there are "no excuses for inaction" in managing the business risks and opportunities associated with climate change.&amp;nbsp; The authors concluded by stating that thinking through the complexities of how climate change will impact the business is a test of management acumen; some executives are meeting this challenge head-on while others are not--and shareholders should ask why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your business is ready to plan for climate change, then I recommend &lt;a href="http://www.bsr.org/reports/BSR_Climate-Change-Report.pdf"&gt;A Three-Pronged Approach to Corporate Climate Strategy&lt;/a&gt; (Business for Social Responsibility, 2006).&amp;nbsp; In order for the world to decrease global emissions by the recommended 70%, companies need to think in terms of zero emissions as they plan their climate change strategies.&amp;nbsp; In a nutshell, it is recommended that companies analyze their value chains to identify opportunities&amp;nbsp;to become more energy efficient, to invest in carbon emission offsets, and to invest in renewable energy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't forget to participate in your local &lt;a href="http://www.350.org/350winnipeg350"&gt;350 Climate Action Rally&lt;/a&gt; on Saturday, October 24.&amp;nbsp; The&amp;nbsp;Little Rock, AR event will be held at MacArthur Park from 2-5pm.&amp;nbsp; Hosted by&amp;nbsp;Audubon Arkansas, 1 Sky, Sierra Club, and Village Commons, the event&amp;nbsp;will feature local musicians, speakers and educational booths with presentations by State Representative Kathy Webb, Sierra Club, and Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Sustainable Business Design | http://sustainablebusinessdesign.biz | "Because sustainable business is good business."© | Sustainable Business: An Executive's Primer  http://tiny.cc/NR1VF&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3337399779578978851-6471433994370045443?l=sustainablebusinessdesign.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Remember the old (and not always clean) jokes about the traveler who must sleep in the barn? Well it's no joke any more! &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2009/aug/09/germany-hay-hotel-gutshof-mankmuss"&gt;In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, every traveler is invited to take a roll in the hay as hay hotels (or "heuhotels") are growing in popularity&lt;/a&gt;. As the name suggests, hay hotels allow you to sleep in the hay in the barn.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Like all lodging, hay hotels can &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/traveltips/08/25/hay.hotels/index.html"&gt;range from luxury accomodations to bare essentials&lt;/a&gt; with fewer amenities than a hostel. &lt;a href="http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__PR/GIC/2008/10/23__Hay__Hotels__S,archiveCtx=2026604.html"&gt;You can even choose to sleep among the barn animals&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Without the need for new construction, heavy laundry bills or other forms of high energy consumption, hay hotels are also an effective means of low-impact, sustainable tourism.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the best part?&amp;nbsp; No beds to make!&amp;nbsp; In the morning, you simply &lt;a href="http://www.moreintelligentlife.com/story/hit-the-hay"&gt;fluff the hay with a pitchfork&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Like any responsible person, you recycle it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what happens to all that e-waste from responsible e-cyclers? In case you missed it, &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5274959n"&gt;60 Minutes&lt;/a&gt; just aired an expose on the electronics recycling industry. It has been estimated that as much as 75% of used electronics received in developing nations for the purpose of recycling actually ends up as hazardous e-waste. Watch this 13-minute video documenting one example in Hong Kong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To ensure your e-waste is recycled responsibly, look for a recycler that has met &lt;a href="http://www.e-stewards.org/"&gt;e-Stewards certification&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed height="324" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="425" src="http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/player-dest.swf" flashvars="linkUrl=http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5274959n&amp;amp;releaseURL=http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/player-dest.swf&amp;amp;videoId=50076351&amp;amp;partner=news&amp;amp;vert=News&amp;amp;autoPlayVid=false&amp;amp;name=cbsPlayer&amp;amp;allowScriptAccess=always&amp;amp;wmode=transparent&amp;amp;embedded=y&amp;amp;scale=noscale&amp;amp;rv=n&amp;amp;salign=tl" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbs.com/"&gt;Watch CBS Videos Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Sustainable Business Design | http://sustainablebusinessdesign.biz | "Because sustainable business is good business."© | Sustainable Business: An Executive's Primer  http://tiny.cc/NR1VF&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3337399779578978851-3693898543465265439?l=sustainablebusinessdesign.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: JBHT) and SunEco Energy today announced the signing of a cooperative agreement, which could lead to J.B. Hunt becoming a significant purchaser of biodiesel made from natural algae oil using SunEco Energy's proprietary technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two companies conducted a series of successful tests using biodiesel made by SunEco Energy from 100 percent natural algae oil produced at the company's pilot plant in Chino, California. These tests, using a 20 percent and 50 percent blend of algae oil with petroleum diesel, measured an 82 percent reduction in particulate emissions with no loss of power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Transportation fuel is virtually 100% oil-based," said Gary Whicker, senior vice president of engineering for J.B. Hunt. "Finding alternative energy sources to put in our fuel tanks is good business for our company and our nation. SunEco's innovative process to produce renewable fuel supplies from algae grown in American ponds is an intriguing new option. Our initial experience with their algae-based biodiesel is promising, and we are excited about the opportunity to work with SunEco Energy to move towards a lower cost, less carbon intensive, and more secure energy supply for our business."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are very pleased that J.B. Hunt, a leading transportation company, took the steps to test our fuel in their trucks and are taking further steps to become a leader in the use of renewable fuels," said Dan Gautschi, Chairman and CEO of SunEco Energy. "The SunEco technology has been in development for over five years, with an operating pilot facility over the past two years which has allowed us to continually produce barrels of oil rather than beakers, enabling us to provide oil for tests in a variety of applications."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SunEco's proprietary technology utilizes naturally occurring algae strains in a monitored environment to produce an oil product suitable for making renewable transportation fuels and other oil-based products, and, as a byproduct of the process, a high-quality animal feed supplement. SunEco is currently raising additional funding to enable the large scale deployment of the technology in U.S. and international markets, including a large development in the Imperial Valley region of California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. focuses on providing safe and reliable transportation services to a diverse group of customers throughout the continental United States, Canada and Mexico. Utilizing an integrated, multimodal approach, J.B. Hunt provides capacity-oriented solutions centered on delivering customer value and industry-leading service.SunEco Energy is committed to leading the deployment of commercially viable bio-products made from natural algae strains. The Company's primary objective is to deliver reliable clean and sustainable energy products for transportation fuels and livestock feed, thus breaking the trade-off between food or fuel. Looking forward, the company intends to expand its product range to include a full scope of uses currently obtained from petroleum, such as, plastics, inks and dyes, as well as nutri-ceuticals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FLdD5ek22ns&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FLdD5ek22ns&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Sustainable Business Design | http://sustainablebusinessdesign.biz | "Because sustainable business is good business."© | Sustainable Business: An Executive's Primer  http://tiny.cc/NR1VF&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3337399779578978851-8100977306442378822?l=sustainablebusinessdesign.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It rewards good businesses instead of punishing bad ones. It offers green for green. When you join Carrotmob Chicago on Sunday, August 9, in giving Fox &amp;amp; Obel the business, a portion of the ka-chings will go toward making the store more energy efficient. And energy efficiency means less use of precious natural resources and a healthier environment for everyone. It’s about offering a carrot, instead of wielding a stick -- for the good of the planet. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can't thank Christine Esposito, Laura Flanigan, Heather Roth, Hehershe Busuego, Erin Espeland, and Emily Breuker for their hard work and dedication in making this happen and for organizing an incredible cadre of volunteers and supporters in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't forget to "JOIN THE MOB" this Sunday at &lt;a href="http://foxandobel.com/"&gt;Fox &amp;amp; Obel's&lt;/a&gt;. In the meantime, check out the great video our team put together.  And don't forget to check out the &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo_search.php?oid=105431126898&amp;amp;view=all"&gt;photos of the Colossal Carrot&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://chicago.carrotmob.org/blog/mayor-daley-a-fan-of-carrotmob-chicago/"&gt;even Mayor Daley likes the Carrotmob idea&lt;/a&gt;!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cPKKu4Vmi-w&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cPKKu4Vmi-w&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For more information, check out the &lt;a href="http://carrotmob.org/"&gt;Carrotmob website&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://chicago.carrotmob.org/"&gt;Carrotmob Chicago website&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href="http://foxandobel.com/"&gt;Fox &amp;amp; Obel website&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;See you this Sunday!

You already know this is one of my favorite sustainable businesses. I give the &lt;a href="http://www.tomsshoes.com/"&gt;TOMS Shoes&lt;/a&gt; gift pack for birthdays, for holidays, to say "thank you," and for just about any other reason I can find. Today, I just bought and gave TOMS Shoes and got this cool offer for $5 off any online purchase over the next 7 days. The offer even said I should share the promo code with all my friends. So because we're friends, use code &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ShareTOMS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for $5 off at &lt;a href="http://www.tomsshoes.com/"&gt;http://www.tomsshoes.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Sustainable Business Design | http://sustainablebusinessdesign.biz | "Because sustainable business is good business."© | Sustainable Business: An Executive's Primer  http://tiny.cc/NR1VF&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3337399779578978851-3715811132526765791?l=sustainablebusinessdesign.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

For those of you who aren't familiar with &lt;a href="http://www.terracycle.net/index.htm"&gt;TerraCycle&lt;/a&gt;, it all started with worm poop. The company makes great fertilizer and packages it in discarded soda bottles and milk jugs. The product was wildly successful and became available on store shelves and online. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then the company ventured into the creation of other products made from discarded waste (in fact, you can sign up to collect and send in the types of items they need...and they'll pay you for it!). The company now has items made from discarded wine corks, potato chip bags, juice drink pouches, plastic shopping bags, cookie wrappers, and so much more. I have long admired the school backpacks made from juice drink pouches (and the lunch boxes and the pencil cases) and now I can finally own one (or two!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;With back-to-school shopping just around the corner, check out &lt;a href="http://www.shoponlygreen.com/"&gt;TerraCycle's e-commerce site&lt;/a&gt;.  Where else can your kids get a super cool recyled backpack for under $12?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Sustainable Business Design | http://sustainablebusinessdesign.biz | "Because sustainable business is good business."© | Sustainable Business: An Executive's Primer  http://tiny.cc/NR1VF&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3337399779578978851-8688748724038666446?l=sustainablebusinessdesign.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Gyre is composed of the Western and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patches, more commonly known collectively as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The Gyre contains millions of pounds of trash, most of which is plastic.  For more information, watch this &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/06/eveningnews/main591770.shtml"&gt;CBS 2004 video report&lt;/a&gt; or this more recent &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/23/oprah-shines-light-on-gre_n_190552.html"&gt;Oprah 2009 video report&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To bring attention to this problem, one of our favorite environmental photographers, &lt;a href="http://www.chrisjordan.com/"&gt;Chris Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, has created a piece of Eco-Art entitled Gyre. The image is not photography. It's not even paint. It's "&lt;a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/04/18/eco-art-chris-jordans-gyre/"&gt;2.4 million pieces of plastic - &lt;strong&gt;the estimated number of pounds of plastic that enter the world’s ocean’s every hour!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" All the plastic used in the piece of art was collected from the Pacific Ocean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is an image of &lt;a href="http://www.chrisjordan.com/"&gt;Gyre by Chris Jordan&lt;/a&gt;; notice Mount Fuji in the background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TQBd5w16268/SmJIYuZIBVI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/5hSdwRHtK2Q/s1600-h/gyre.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 234px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359926096131786066" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TQBd5w16268/SmJIYuZIBVI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/5hSdwRHtK2Q/s320/gyre.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a closeup of Mount Fuji.

In his ongoing &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/are-paper-napkins-more-environmentally-friendly.php"&gt;AskPablo&lt;/a&gt; series of life cycle analysis comparisons, he examines the debate between paper versus cloth napkins. Which is the better environmental choice? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The study uses the following assumptions:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Restaurants will wash cloth napkins after each use, use excessive bleach, and use a napkin 50 times.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Homes will wash cloth napkins only once a week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So what is the &lt;em&gt;worst&lt;/em&gt; choice for napkins? Cotton napkins win hands down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And what is the &lt;em&gt;best&lt;/em&gt; choice for napkins? Based upon the assumptions used in the study, paper napkins are the best choice for restaurants and linen napkins are the best choice in homes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Sustainable Business Design | http://sustainablebusinessdesign.biz | "Because sustainable business is good business."© | Sustainable Business: An Executive's Primer  http://tiny.cc/NR1VF&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3337399779578978851-9173048268827417128?l=sustainablebusinessdesign.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
