Sustainability is so important for businesses today. I remember attending a conference a few years ago when a CEO for a flooring company said that his aim was for his company to have a zero footprint by 2010.

Everyone though he was crazy. But now, his company has almost made it, and everyone else is doing the same thing.

Its all good and well, but offshore corporations such as Reliance Oil are undoing all the good work we are doing.
