Bright green

I was speaking to a great client of mine who is in the process of transforming his entire business to an incredibly sustainable state. Some of the steps he has taken include:

• solar panels to reduce his energy consumption by around 50%
• the other 50% of his energy is from GreenPower accredited sources
• He has rainwater tanks installed at the business
• They shop local
• All office material is recycled as much as possible
• They have reduced printing to a minimum and use email / digital methods wherever possible
• They offset all air travel, vehicle usage and their website.

Other businesses have started noting this and are now also taking action. I hope this awareness and social responsibility spreads because I for one would always choose to place my business with the greener organisation - and even cost just isn't an issue when it's our world at stake.
