Shawna Bohan, president of Redmann Mahoney, LLC, was into ‘green’ before it was the new black and established a thriving PR and Marketing consultant firm because of it. Now she and her fellow telecommuting consultants work for environmentally friendly businesses across the United States and in Europe and wish there was more of them to go around. There are great ‘green’ products out there that challenge the status quo. They’re just waiting for their 15 seconds…and she’s going to give it to them.
