So, I’m trying to research and report Control’s June 2012 cover story on “process sustainability” during April, and as always I’m in desperate need of help. So, if you or anyone you know might have some expert commentary or end user examples, I would love to hear about them. The main questions I'm trying to cover are below. Please e-mail me at [email protected] or call (620) 625-1125 or (847) 404-6658 to set up an interview in the next few weeks. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

6. Do you know of any specific examples, case studies, or end users who have adopted green manufacturing/sustainability recently, and could talk to me about their experiences? Are there any photos or other graphics available?
