Looking at a few design companies that have environmental policies,

I like the design of the website, they detail all their environmental policies for in the work-place and for the work they produce. I wonder where these guidelines have been used in their work though. There are a few projects on the site, but none of these go into detailing any environmental considerations.

Same again here really. I think that although what these companies are doing is a first step, I don't think they are contributing to producing designs that are E-friendly, and this is the problem. They are all simply trying to please their customers. Don't get me wrong that's their job as graphic designers, but at the same time I think they are failing their job as Environmentalists. (which is largely what their E-policies say they are).
I think I should give the companies a chance to tell me more about their projects.
But the big question - are you an environmentalist first, designer second? Or vise-versa?
