Do you care whether or not big companies "Go Green"?

Is being "Green" a plus or minus that you use to choose products from a not otherwise environmental company? I am seeing a lot more companies go green and I am not sure if it is a marketing tool or they are really turning a new leaf. Pun intented...

Answer:
I do care if a company goes green espcially if it is a big company. If more companies go green then the other companies who arent green yet will want to keep up.
I do tend to choose products that advertise that they have an environmental conscience. I just hope that it's real and not just PR
i do care if a company "goes green". i want to know that at least they have an environmental conscience and even if i dont shop with the company now i can make references to them when i need their services in the near future
While it does indeed matter what each and everyone of us does in regards to how we treat mother earth, I dont normaly bother to look at how any corporation treats mother earth because they will either be lying about it or theyll only be doing it if it profits them. Neither of which is worthy of respect and/or admiration in my book. Ill buy what I need from whoever sells it at a price I can afford and then focus on caring for mother earth as best I can.
no, there are more important things to think about
I think they are trying to show the public that they're good so that more people will buy from them.
This is very expensive nonsense only for good publicity and has absolutely not effect.
Yes, but it has to be an honest effort. Many companies are however working (some more than others) to reduce their environmental impact and I would prefer to give them my business. That way they benefit and the environment benefits too.
yes i do care, but i would rather them actually go green, rather than just slapping an organic component in their product and calling it environmentally friendly.
Absolutly! Big companies mean big waste! Even if the company does as little as changes to recycled paper or uses CFL bulbs at their offices every little bit will help. I think a lot of companies are jumping on the "Green Band wagon" as a way to profit, but if they are genuinly improving their wastefull ways, I really don't care if they make an extra buck or two. Everyone needs to pitch in and large companies can set good examples and encourage their employees and customes to do similar eco-friendly things!
Yes I Believe So!
