Implement green business practives that will impress clients

Green business has taken off by leaps and bounds.  Corporations around the world are “rushing” to implement green practices where ever they can. They usually start small by implementing energy efficient air conditioning and solar air heating systems.  Next up is a recycling program.  The biggest “green” booster is solar energy.  Many homes utilize solar energy so it seems businesses will try to do the same thing.

The next time you hold a business meeting, serve water that is purified.  The crisp and cool taste of the water will impress your business associates.  The days of the “water cooler” may be numbered.  Many businesses have lunch rooms or common rooms in their building.  Most of these have sinks.  It’s best to use a water purification system versus buying bottled water.  Not only is the water is readily available, there’s not recycling of a bottle.

Eco business is the wave of the future.  Many businesses want to “go green,”  but fear they cannot because of the cost.  If businesses “go green” today, they will save money for the future.  More importantly, practices initiated today will save the planet tomorrow!
