NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 6, 2007 -- In its
February/March Issue, Plenty Magazine goes goodwill hunting and predicts the
next green companies set to change the world in 2007 and the years to come.
The list recognizes twenty companies for pushing the eco-envelope and making a
huge impact in the fast moving green revolution. From solar technology to fair
trade coffee and ice-energy in between -- Plenty ranks its selection of the top
companies ready to make a difference and redefine what it means to be green in
the marketplace.
"Since launching Plenty, we've sought to educate readers about those green
businesses and companies with cutting-edge eco-initiatives," says Mark
Spellun, editor of Plenty Magazine. "The green marketplace has become a
large and diverse space and in selecting the Plenty 20 we combed through the
candidates, considering the company's reach, potential, influence and
innovative vision."
The Plenty 20 includes members of the Fortune 500 establishment whose initiatives
are changing big business's relationship with the environment as well as
smaller start-up companies, whose groundbreaking technology is shaping our
vision for energy efficiency in the years ahead.
Among the Plenty 20:
- GreenFuel Technologies: Introducing algae as the
new weapon in the fight against global warming and the next wave of
biofuel technology.
- General Electric: Its Ecomagination initiative
was just the beginning. Up next -- more than 40 green products, from
water-stringy washing machines to fuel-efficient airplane engines,
expected to hit the market in the years ahead.
- Organic Valley: Further pushing its
groundbreaking, socially conscious and eco-friendly food production
cooperative business model to supermarket shelves everywhere.
- Ice Energy: Bringing a surprisingly low-tech
solution to the energy sapping air-conditioner industry with the
introduction of the Ice Bear -- an energy saving answer to overtaxed power
grids and summer heat waves.
