And the motivation for doing so was not saving money - but "Going green."

Well, at least shame is a good motivator for some people.

I prefer common sense, and making a good cost/benefit case. At my last job, at a college, profitability depended mostly on how cold was the winter. The largest variable bill for the campus was paying for heat, everything else was pretty predictable and could be factored into the cost of tuition, etc. The CFO was an interesting guy, who was 50% mother Teresa, and 50% Scrooge. He always planned for the worst, and held back on the budget until spring, and then if we had a mild winter life was great and a bunch of needed infrastructure projects could get funded (and needed to be completed by FY end which was June 30th.)
