A lot of companies out there talk about going green while others really do something about it. A couple of years ago, Best Buy started building eco-friendly buildings that conformed to LEEDS certified standards. That was huge and makes a difference in a community when a new building does not come in and drain that community's resources.
Read this statement Best Buy made about their recycling program. It is great to have a store which will take our old products a recycle them.
