Small-business owners are starting to embrace the kind of "green" values that typically are associated with far larger companies and a far greater investment of time and money, taking small-but-earnest steps for the cause of conservation.

In some cases, ecologically conscientious entrepreneurs are even finding that "green" sensibilities are not only good for the Earth, they're also good for business.

In times of rising energy costs and increasing consumer demand for "green" solutions, experts believe business owners are also smart to start trying.
