Based on the Hearst Corp VP they are eco-friendly "wherever possible", they "try to get", and would "if they could". I've been out of the corporate environment for a couple of years, so my question is, how different is that from other employers?
Everyone I know would try to get more ecologically conscious products, wherever possible, if they could. Most times it's sound economically.

If businesses were forced to cut back CO2 by 40-90%, no one in the US would have any jobs and there would be no need for an eco-friendly workplace.

Seems like a good idea and if they feel good about it, and can afford the difference in costs for the utilized products, more power to them.

As a park ranger, I generally work in natural light, breathe fresh air, and keep physically active. My office space was made two hundred years ago with all-natural materials. Yes, I feel good at work.
At the same time, I see the idiosynchracies of federal corporate efforts at eco-friendly practices. The U.S. government is obliged to use the most environmentally friendly cleaning solvents. We salt the sidewalks with gentler potassium-based salts. We use CFLs and buy our electricity from renewable sources. But I dare you to find a recycling bin anywhere in our national park. We use a half page of paper to explain the Paperwork Reduction Act.
