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.

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.
