Summary	Aldhous and McKenna analyzed data from two available databases to determine whether or not "environmentally conscious" purchasing and investment choices can create a "green economy." The reporters found that consumers are generally confused about a company's "green credentials" and the consequent environmental cost. The results from the investigation encourage companies to fully disclose "their environmental impacts."
