Although many trace the beginnings of organized concern for the environment back to the first Earth Day in 1970, momentum behind environmentally friendly public policy and business practices has ebbed and flowed dramatically over the past few decades. Within the past five years, however, global recognition of the need to protect the environment for future generations has emerged from an important, yet largely fringe issue to an increasingly central issue that is now shaping behaviors in both the public and private sectors.
