Why Offices Go Green
Businesses and government offices have been going green for decades. Their motivations are as diverse as their business plans and profit margins. Most start because they want to save money. They do this by using less energy, creating less waste, saving water, causing fewer emissions and using fewer toxic chemicals.
Businesses also want to benefit from more productive employees and from happier customers. There are tremendous public relations benefits from being known as a sustainably driven business, and being friendly to the health of your city and of the planet. Some businesses have made money through new ventures that are encountered as their businesses enter the green economy. The number of US green jobs is growing 2.5 times faster than other jobs. For employees of many large companies, a better environmental record means more secure jobs, bigger bonuses, and a healthier working environment.
Small businesses, including doctor offices, can reap these benefits.
By focusing on the bottom line, reducing waste, increasing efficiency, and nurturing teamwork in the office to improve our business activities, any sized company or organization will stay competitive.
My Green Doctor shows medical offices how easy it is to capture financial, health, and environmental savings.
