4) Wipro EcoEnergy You might not have heard of them, but Wipro EcoEnergy is doing big things in the world of green business by providing "intelligent and sustainable solutions for enterprise- wide energy operations and efficiency management." In other words, they partner with companies to help them reduce their carbon footprints and energy wastage, which saves them a ton of money. Wipro keeps those client savings numbers under wraps, but they're much more open about how they've helped the environment. To date, their energy management services have saved over 1.5 billion KwH, equivalent to taking over 222,600 cars off the road for a year. 5) YES STRAWS Disposable plastic straws are harmful to our environment. They are one of the ten most frequently found things on the beaches and are the cause of death to thousands of fish and animals. In an effort to change our habits and protect the wildlife, plastic straw bans have been enacted across the country in major cities like Seattle, Portland, Milwaukee and Washington DC; some states like Virginia and California; and some with some brands like Starbucks, Hyatt, and SeaWorld. Rising from these changes came many eco- friendly straw alternatives. YesStraws produces 100% biodegradable straws made from natural materials so you can enjoy your drink comfortably without damaging the Earth. They use raw materials from renewable sources, like wheat and cane stems which are fast growing, compostable and biodegradable. Their brand also helps by educating the local community about ecologically conscious lifestyles. Via yesstraws.com
