ust how sustainable is
the Connecticut business
community, really?
Well, No. 2 in the nation.
Sort of.
Looking strictly at the amount
of energy it takes to produce $1
of gross domestic product, Con-
necticut ranks behind only New
York state in terms of efficient
economic generation.
Riva Krut, chief sustainability officer
at Praxair, said part of her company's
business model is helping customers
reduce emissions, find substitutes
for hazardous chemicals,
and provide more
durable products.
