I am starting my own business making environmentally friendly women's jewelry out of recycled, re-used, and sustainably grown/harvested materials, and would like to open a business checking and savings account. I am very environmentally conscious and am having trouble finding a bank that offers decent rates, competitive fees, is environmentally conscious in their energy and materials usage, and invests only in businesses with equally progressive environmental practices.
I am also looking for an online-only bank, since they do not waste materials, space, and energy building branches which I don't need to use. I know there have to be a few out there, and I have found a few but they are unfortuantely in Europe and are not available to US citizens. Help!

The best one is the Pentagon credit union. They do not invest in environmentally damaging industries, have a totally electronic transaction option for customers and excell in providing loans and deposit accounts to ordinary Americans.

u have started in time. there is a bank that was established one year ago and its still going strong. this bank is really eco-friendly and built to cater to those starting an eco-conscious business like yours. this bank is called New Resource Bank. it is based in San Francisco, CA. and they have real great customer service so i think you'll like them.

NetBank is an online only bank that has good rates. It does things like online statements are free, but paper ones will cost you.
