The article focuses on the move of workplace learning and performance professionals to teach employees about the environmental policies of the U.S. government. It is stated that the green movement's agenda is calling for tougher action and developing practical ways, including carbon-neutral products and services to start change. On the other hand, several corporations are also extending their green policies beyond operations to influence suppliers and consumers. Meanwhile, some organizations have started their own training and educational campaigns to reduce damage to the environment, even without strict mandate from the government.
