How real is the green dream you ask?  Its very real in Portland! I work for GreenPrint Technologies which launched in 2006.  Its  a green software application that helps to reduce unwanted pages coming off of your printer in order to reduce paper waste and save money. The average user can save about $100/year and a tree simply by using the product.  Its a dream to be working for a company that walks the walk and talks the talk and is growing!  We have added staff and moved to larger office space a few times and are now known internationally from both a sales and press perspective.  Locally we work with"Friends of Trees" and have a green bundle program set up with Xerox down in Wilsonville for their customers.  More staff will be added and more developments will occur as we continue to see the trend for businesses and consumers to take "green" actions as a necessary part to help with global warming while also reducing their own costs.  Its a win - win.
