Inside: This Month in Green Business
The global economic downturn is fueling concern that companies, governments, and individuals may choose to put green initiatives on hold. Case in point: In Europe, cheaper oil prices have made renewable energy sources relatively less cost-effective, while thinner profit margins have prompted corporate users of power to trim their budgets for sustainable energy programs.

But the news in green business isn't all bad. A new study reveals that companies like Intel and Nike have made significant strides in adopting environmentally friendly policies. Find out who else is leading the corporate pack in addressing climate change.

To stay on top of these and other developments in green business, subscribe to this newsletter and we'll e-mail it to you on the final Monday of each month.
