Green e-commerce and attracting online consumers

I saw this interesting article that seemed to be a fusion of two trends: growth of online commerce and the importance of green business.

Basically, a company gives a green certificate for the purchase of a 'green license' meant to improve the image of the licensee. The company then uses part of the license fees to fund environmental activities. This seems to be a very easy way for small online businesses to take part in CSR and improve their image in the eyes of consumers.
