In 2004, Richard Hodges founded Green IT, a business consulting firm that provides advice on sustainable practices as a company advances its Information and Communication Technology or ICT. The extensive website, maintained and written by Hodges, is well worth a visit for individuals and owners interested in expanding their green technology. It also offers specialized seminars for its clients on topics such as "assessing your company's green footprint," "creating a plan to reduce costs and eco-footprint" and "clarifying the difference between the terms 'green' and 'greenwash.' " The company has consulted for the University of California, the Sonoma Valley Hospital and the Presidio Trust of San Francisco.
