Reducing pollution, recycling, and sustainability? Sounds like a lot of work. Can't they just plant a few trees and call it a day?

Responsible sourcing, eh? I bet that's just corporate speak for 'charge the customer more for being 'green''. But hey, at least they're trying, I guess.

This question is a no-brainer. If I can't come up with at least three ways to improve environmental impact, I shouldn't even be taking this exam. Time to brush up on my sustainability knowledge!

Returning what they take from nature by replanting or replacing is a really thoughtful approach. Suppliers who make that kind of effort are the ones I'd want to work with.
