Business owners are meeting today to discuss the pros and cons of “going green.” UW Madison’s Business School is hosting its first “sustainability” conference to encourage companies to make real commitments to the environment.

Department co-chair Tom Eggert says the idea is for executives to learn from each other on what works and what doesn’t when it comes to sustainability. (Second item.)
