"Brett Little, administrative director of Alliance for Environmental Sustainability, doesn't just think green at work. He also made sure he lived in a green home, and spends his days making intentional choices with reducing his carbon footprint in mind."
Order up a coffee at Starbucks and you might expect a shot of

electricity usage, and used green cleaning methods at the
Starbucks branch.
