    I’m a bit disappointed to see some of the “highlights” for these greenest companies… employees can control their lighting (Sask Power)? employees get $1000 rebate for buying a hybrid car?? I mean, they’re great things to do but if that’s all the “greenest companies” do in Canada, we have a long long way to go… i would suggest looking at carbon footprint for a company’s operations, and looking at life cycle carbon footprint for a company’s products…

    Just more window dressing and bafflegab to shut up the eco-loons. Plus big business has stolen a page from the eco-loons playbook. Wrap yourself in the eco flag and apply for a government grant. Also you can then shake down the consumer by earnestly saying you are increasing prices to “save the planet”. Nova Scotia Power piously announced they are expecting the consumer to absorb about 100 million dollars in additional costs so they can pretend to go green. This on top of endless increases automatically granted to NS Power every year. This used to be a government owner utility that was sold off at fire sale prices(200 million). It now generates a 100 million garenteed yearly profit which is shipped out of the province. What a farce.

    I see Stikeman Elliott is part of the list. Here is an excerpt from their website:
