Go into LinkedIn and network with like-minded colleagues. Rather than solely relying on press releases (and press leaks, for that matter), people can simply go on Facebook fan pages and Twitter accounts to get the latest news. The same goes for Twitter. So, look into publications that do stories on eco-friendly businesses.
