| ~Why Go Green? Our immune resistance is compromised and subsequently lowered by constant overexposure to air contaminates like: chemical fumes &, irritant dust, mold, mildew, and bacteria. However, many factors in the environment both controllable... and uncontrollable... overload the immune system and causes it to break down and be less protective. One clear choice to be made, one which can easily be controlled is toxic Chemical Cleaning vs. Non-toxic Green Cleaning. Never again allowing unecessary chemicals into our personal environments, at all, should become a main focus and starting point...because the most important individual that is affected by them...is you!
~What is Green? "BIO-BASED" means a product which is derived from a renewable source such as the extracts or oils from fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, or nuts. "GREEN", is MORE than just purchasing a handful of cleaning products which are "Eco-Friendly".
Enviro-Tips
The concept of "GREEN" , especially in regards to "CLEANING" is an overall philosophy, mindset, & objective. Move Away from products w/labels which read: "toxic" & "hazardous" petrochemical-waste! Discover Natural, bio-based ones, with ease... "GREEN" means a product which is derived from a renewable source, it is MORE than just purchasing a handful of cleaning products which are "Eco-Friendly".
1. Reduce/Eliminate: Migraines, Asthma, Skin Sensitivities
When you switch to Carter's Green Clean
we attack air-contaminants!
2. Rethink Power Strips
Even when the TV &other appliances are turned "off", they are using energy if they're plugged in. Plug into power strips & when not
use, flip the strip to off.
3. Switch Out Lightbulbs
Compact fluorescent lamps use at least two-thirds less energy than standard incandescent ones. CFL's produce the the same amount of light as standard bulbs. You may have to pay a few dollars more for them, but, a CFL lamp will continue to shine more than 20 times longer.
4. Conserve Water
Fill up an empty half-gallon milk container with sand, marbles, rocks...
then place the jug into the water tank reserve on the toilet. You now have a low flush toilet, that will just as easily convert back.

| 'The Dollars and Sense of Green Retrofits' |

Companies that pass up a chance to green their existing commercial buildings may never recover from the losses resulting from greater operating costs, lower productivity, negative brand image and declining attractiveness to workers, according to a recent study. The study called “The Dollars and Sense of Green Retrofits” was co-authored by green real estate authority and consultant Charles Lockwood and Deloitte. It was based on a survey of organizations or companies whose existing buildings underwent a green retrofitting. Participants were asked what motivated them to consider the projects and what influenced their decisions. Findings concluded that while savings from energy efficiency was a top goal, as cited by 75 percent of respondents, corporate environmental commitment was the leading motive. Another 75 percent of respondents reported improvement in employee health. One hundred percent of respondents experienced an increase in goodwill/brand equity. "The value of green retrofitting helps demonstrate that sustainability is rapidly becoming a critical business strategy," said Chris Park, leader of Deloitte’s Enterprise. |
