It’s tough running a multi-billion dollar company.  You’re always looking for ways to improve the “bottom line”.  Fortunately for Google, they’ve managed to defy Wall Street estimates and reported better than expected earnings in the first quarter of 2010.  How’d they do it you ask?

Goats!

“The cost of bringing in the goats is comparable to hiring lawn mowers for the same job and the green benefits are clear: the goats eliminate mower emissions, reduce noise pollution, restore plant species and fertilize while grazing.”

Once again, the company is providing leadership both within its core business and beyond.  Go Google.
