Starting a business is a goal that is not that easy to actualize but starting a business and protecting the environment at the same time? That is a great and noble goal. Though there are now so many people who are doing their part in keeping the environment clean it won’t be that effective not unless the business sector joins the battle.
You see one of the greatest areas in the battle to save the plant is right below the noses of business establishments because they have so much to contribute in this fight. So, if you are a business owner and you want to join this noble endeavour to save the plant, here are some simple yet effective things that you can do.
Follow the three “R”
This may sound so cliché but it is very effective and easy to follow. Reduce, Reuse, and recycle, it is as simple as that and every business can follow that. It does not need any funding or any new invention or any policy at all, each employee and the company itself just has to follow it through and it can do wonders for the environment and the company itself.
The company can place convenient scrap metal bins on strategic places in the workplace to help segregate the trash so that the one which can be recycled can be sold and the ones which can be reused can go straight to its utility.
Offer Company Transpiration Service
If you insist that your workers and employees report for work at the office one thing that you can do with that in relation to keeping the environment green is to offer a single transport system for all your employees to be picked up.
This would mean that the more people are using a transport service the more fuel is saved and the more fuel saved meant the lesser carbon and smoke exhaust there is in the city. You might think that it is insignificant because you are just one small company, yes you might be true with that thought, but what if a hundred companies do this scheme, this means cleaner air for everyone and lesser company cost when it comes to fuel.
Go Digital
You can always go digital. So how does this help the environment? It is simple, with going digital a company can save a lot of resources and a lot of costs as well. By going digital the transaction is now made thru online banking which means lesser travel time and lesser paper used with each transaction.
Digital also offers workers to work from home which lessens electric consumption at the office and lesser company resources used. By going digital there would be a lesser need to refill printer inks and lesser papers used at the office. And all of these can greatly help save mother earth.
There are so many business ideas and schemes just to be able to help save the environment we are in, you just have to be creative and innovative in your approach and stand by your company’s decision to go green.
