<b>Bruce Baikie and Marc Pomerleau are putting an earth-friendly spin on wireless networks.</b>
</p><p>
Their nonprofit organization, <a target="_blank" href="http://dw.com.com/redir?destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.green-wifi.org&siteId=22&oId=2100-1035-6101071&ontId=1035&lop=nl.ex">Green Wi-Fi</a>,
is trying to bring Internet access to schools in developing countries
