Cigar Company Goes Green with Windpower

What do you think of this?  Imagine my surprise when I read about how True Tobacco is using their "greenie practices" to appeal to more of their cigar and tobacco customers. By going "Eco Friendly" they are actually increasing their cigar sales by appealing to a certain environmentally conscious clientele.   

TrueTobacco has increased their sales by "going greener".

The owner said in a recent interview, "We were born from a vision that eCommerce can be done in a better way. By better we mean, faster shipping, better service and a more Eco-friendly approach."

Just what does that mean for a cigar company? 

They responded, "We currently host our site on servers that are 100% wind powered. On average we put out 16,550 pounds per year less of CO2 compared to our less Eco-friendly competitors."

WOW.  More and more businesses are using the eco friendly approach to increase marketing, but using this much less CO2 is definitely something to brag about!   This is something to think about.  Would one chastise them for selling cigars, or pat them on the back for going greener? 

Thoughts on this?

Wow! Check this green and Eco Friendly item out!  Just found this - the Power Source 1800 Solar Power Generator  featured here   http://tinyurl.com/solarbackup is a perfect size generator that is a start in the right direction of green energy. This is perfect for people who can't afford a large solar system or do not have the time to build one.  Get rid of worrying everytime the power goes out, a thunderstorm knocks you off the grid or a hurricane wind comes and knocks out your power lines.

This generator is small, portable, and quiet as anything. You can use regularly to save on electricity in small places like apartments, RVs, trailers, high rise condos, or in any size home. It can run your freezer, or open your garage door.
