As the world develops and time passes, environmental issues are getting more severe and acute by the year and sometimes even by the month. Hence there is growing attention and appeal in sustainability and environmental responsibility. Many consumers now choose environmentally responsible firms than others, causing many firms to come up with ideas and innovations to increase sustainability and environmental friendliness. This article shows “50 Ways to Green Your Business”.
Among the many ways to ‘go green’ shown in the article, about 51 organizations are mentioned, and not only firms are mentioned, but other institutions, such as universities, and even sports teams are mentioned. The article shows how these companies achieved sustainability and a step towards a more environmentally responsible organization. As I read through the article, I saw many familiar names, such as Microsoft, Apple, GM and even Texas Instruments, which manufactures the calculators that most students use world-wide. Listed as number 17, the article says that Texas Instruments “estimates it has eliminated 15million pounds of CO2 emissions and saved 3.7 million watts of electric power”.
Not only will such steps help improve the reputations of firms, it will also ultimately benefit the entire world in reducing the environmental impacts of development.
