Pretty impressive. You wouldn't think that the US Air Force and Pepsi would have this in common, but they do. America is going green, and it's a good thing for everyone. By supporting these organizations, in purchasing their products and services we can reward their vision to support green power, and encourage other companies to do the same.
These companies deserve respect for achieving top search engine placement in the category of "top green purchasers".
Good luck in your own search engine placement endeavors !
