America's largest (greenest) companies


This week, Newsweek announced their 2009 Green Rankings - an "exclusive" look at the environmental impact of our nation's 500 largest corporations. The well-known  names dominating the travel sector are hardly surprising if you're a frequent consumer of eco news.

Can you guess who landed at the top of travel?

1. Walt Disney (Disney's Eco Makeover)
2. Marriott International (Marriott's Eco Initiative)
3. Starwood Hotels & Resorts (Starwood's Element Hotels)
4. Wyndham Worldwide (New WyndhamGreen Program)
5. Las Vegas Sands
6. Carnival
7. MGM Mirage
8. Wynn Resorts
9. Southwest Airlines
10. Delta Air Lines

it's surprising that so many of the top corporations are in hotel/entertainment. I guess they don't include the impact of consumers travelling to and from these destinations... :>

Very true.

A note, however... these were the "top" companies in the travel sector of the Top 500 list. I don't believe any made the actual Top 10.
