Human resources departments have begun to give phone interviews to decide whether an applicant is qualified for the job and is a fit candidate. This gives the employer a chance to get to know the person and to find out if it is worth their time to bring them into the work location for an in-person interview. In an interesting way, this is also a way that human resources departments are going greener. By finding out if a candidate is fit for the job before they come in, it saves gas and pollution into the air by not calling them in for an interview if they are not qualified.

SolarWindow(TM) technologies which enable see-thru windows to generate electricity by 'spraying' their glass surfaces with New Energy's electricity-generating coatings. These solar coatings are less than 1/10th the thickness of 'thin' films and make use of the world's smallest functional solar cells, shown to successfully produce electricity in a published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics.
