greening your business

Telecommuting is an excellent opportunity to promote greener business practices without sacrificing results or daily production. It is a rare win-win compromise that satisfies employees as well as your bottom line.

No matter how you decide to green your business, always keep two goals in mind: 1) to do business in a manner that reduces environmental impact as much as humanly possible, and 2) to sell products and improve your bottom line.

As I start my own business, I am compiling a mental checklist of all small, simple things I can do in my day-to-day operations to lighten my footprint on the planet. By building environmentally conscious practices into my work flow from the start, I hope to start off on the right foot and keep taking steps toward sustainability.
