	Some major fundraising suppliers, specifically chocolate manufacturers, have begun to notify distributors that they will no longer be supplying chocolate bars for fundraising beginning in the Spring Fundraising season of 2009. Rising input costs <ref>"CBS4 Article" {{cite web \| title=Is Your Chocolate Fudged? \| url=http://cbs4.com/food/chocolate.hershey.vegetable.2.852310.html \| publisher=CBS4.com}}</ref> had previously forced a reduction in the size of the candy bars, but the manufacturers realized that further reductions would lead to a decrease in sales. Many smaller fundraising product suppliers are also facing shortfalls and the real possibility of closure due to increasing costs and decreasing sales. \		Some major fundraising suppliers, specifically chocolate manufacturers, have begun to notify distributors that they will no longer be supplying chocolate bars for fundraising beginning in the Spring Fundraising season of 2009.

Auto manufacturers use it to advertise the latest fuel efficient automobiles. Cleaning product companies are eschewing the earth friendliness of their cleaning supplies.

With major corporations and the government both pouring vast resources into the green concept, people are more focused on the environment now than ever before.
