While the Good News Network normally does not cheer someone's guilt or punishment,
this week's verdict against two executives at Enron underscore two of
the seven values upon which we've built our good new philosophy: integrity and
responsibility.
The verdicts, while not reimbursing Enron empoyees the hundreds of
thousands of dollars in lost pension plans, will renew their faith in
the sense of fairness in our justice system. Business leaders should
bear not only the privilege of office but also the responsibility.

Customers appreciate that Starbucks uses recycled cardboard and wish it would use more, but the new twist is that sustainable paper saves the corporation money.

Environmentalists Cooperate With Business, Praise Every Good Step
A special collection in the New York Times Business section looks at
what's green, and getting greener, in the business sector. 15 different stories
cover everything from green architecture to animal care in the
food industry. My favorite article, the one that best confirms the values espoused here at
the Good News Network, highlights the daily cooperation these days between
environmentalists and corporations. It used to be a common tactic for
environmentalists to remain on the attack against their opponent with
lawsuits, protests and boycotts. . .

 A former director of engineering at Ford Motor Company says there is no
need to wait for clean power. His Hydrogen Engine Center introduced the
first hydrogen-fueled combustion engine for industrial uses in 2004.
The company's niche right now includes airport ground vehicles,
forklifts and the like. (American Airlines alone has 9,500 vehicles
likely to be converted to alternative fuels over the next decade.) His
engines can "run on a number of fuels including hydrogen, ethanol,
natural gas, propane or digester gas from landfills," the AP reports. We will be breathing cleaner air in the future thanks to the enthusiasm of Ted Hollinger and his team.
