Go Green and Stay Cost-Competitive!
Thursday January 15, 2009
Most small business owners think that it takes a lot of initial capital to "green up" their businesses. Not so! A recent article gives you ideas on how to go green for very little or no money and actually stay cost-competitive. You can go green by using leftovers from your business and actually save money, even during a recession.
One restaurant owner started using leftover vegetable oil to power his vehicles after it was converted to fuel. The converter cost $8,000, but the owner saves $400 per week in diesel fuel and $100 per week in grease removal, so he will make that up fast. I bet you can come up with inventive green ideas for your business!

Going green seems to be a trend anymore, like a new popular pair of shoes, but if it helps the environment then whatever works is good. The more businesses that follow this, the better off we can be in the planet. Thanks for your ideas.
