I’m probably one of Google’s best viral marketers. They not only have great products, respect for their customers and employees, but they are arguably the most environmentally responsible company on the planet. I love what they are doing around the world to fight hunger and poverty and encourage sustainability. I just wrote about some of the other things Google is doing to be “Creation Friendly” on my blog.
