According to a recent United Nation's report, human activities consume about 20 percent more than what the planet can sustain. In other words, globally we need 1.2 planets to meet our present demands. Each one of us, including our businesses - even non-industrial ones-, leave our own ecological footprint on the planet through our use of electricity, water, and other natural resources.

Businesses around the world are increasingly considering the impact they have on the environment and are doing something about it. Becoming "green" is gaining in popularity not only because it is the right think to do but also because it makes business sense. For one, you can immediately save money by implementing a number of simple measures. For another, you can promote your business as being green, something that is gaining increasing popularity among consumers.
