...site, without capital investment. There are also energy-purchasing programs like Practice Green Health's "virtual marketplace" model, which involves real-time reverse energy auctions on the Web: instead of buyers competing to purchase energy, sellers auction packages that include renewables. That drives down the price and narrows cost margins, and the savings allow for a higher percentage of alternative fuels in the package. For example, Ingalls Health System, a 563-bed hospital with satellite facilities in south suburban Chicago, bought a plan with 5% green fuels. Ingalls can expect to see a 3,433-ton reduction...

After the show, come back to the Royalton to sip a nightcap and soak in the glow of the fireplace at Bar 44. (See 10 things to do in New York City.) 44 West 44th Street, New York City...
...Days. If you're planning to drive to Florida, consider renting a car from Thrifty - for just $1 a day. If you pick the car up in select cities, such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati or Kansas City, and return it to select cities in the Sunshine State, it'll cost you less to rent the car than it will to fill the tank...
