.As I speak to prospective clients on a daily basis, I find that some business owners just don’t get it. “What can sustainability do for me? I’m a home-based small business!”
To those who want to operate more sustainably but don’t see why it makes sense for them, I offer the following:
1) You are already on the path! After all, as a home-based business, you already have a carbon-free commute. As someone who has to buy their own ink and paper, I am sure you print as little as possible, saving many trees as well as your expense budget.
2) When you green your home office, you are reaping the benefits on your home – cleaner water, reduced heating and air conditioning costs, lower electricity bills, less toxic air, etc. As a bonus, your healthcare costs for your family will decrease as well.
3) As you grow your business and bring others into it, you can more easily incorporate your sustainable business philosophy one employee/partner/contractor at a time.
4) Last but most importantly, you can host a Go Green Workshop in your home and get a mini-office makeover as part of the deal!
As you work to secure your economic future, take this opportunity to green the planet one office AND home at a time!
