Hi Ilona,
This is your mentor Debbie. :D
Wow, this is some thorough research on businesses that are putting positive influence on the environment. Great job!! But you should also remember, that writing an article is not always about letting other people know what all you??ve found out. It??s also extracting the most useful information for the readers! :) It would be good to separate topics into different paragraphs as well.
Anyways, personally what drew my attention the most was the story of H&M switching completely to secondary industries. I wonder whether their plan was made successful last year!
Green Cheers,
Debbie

Hi, Ilona
This is your mentor Yuseon:D
Thanks for your well written thematic report. It was a long and informative report, and I want to compliment your passion as Tunza ambassador. Although, you could use a bit of interval and white spaces between your paragraphs for better readability :)
You've introduced 8 companies and their methods of practicing environmental business. I didn't know about Henkel or Procter & Gamble and their work to reduce water, electricity during production or minimizing packages for the environment. It is good to know many companies are considering the harm that it causes to the environment as a important factor of production.
Keep up the good work. I'll be looking forward for your next report!
