Running a Business
The green movement is gathering steam, even in small business. It's a way of making your business more cost-effective. If you have a retail business, consider what Wal-Mart has done to make its operations more sustainable. The chain has removed on-off switches and replaced them with variable lighting and power technologies that turn on and turn off lights depending on whether a customer is near or far. No matter what type of business you’re in, chances are you can benefit from taking a sustainable approach, with energy-efficient office equipment and energy upgrades such as HVAC and temperature controls.
