Save Money by Going Green. Oxymoron?

I hear it almost every day....Green is expensive...Going green will cost my business more...I dont have the luxury of going green....Green is for newer businesses.  It's pretty convienient to give those excuses.  Most people will just nod their heads in agreement because they relate "green" to some expensive organic apple they saw at the market. 

I usually find myself jumping into the middle of these conversations trying to dispel this myth.  Yes,  It is a myth.   And there is evidence to support this all around us.  From Wal-Mart greening their whole supply chain and saving millions if not billions of dollars, to a local furniture store who reduced their energy bill by 40% simply by changing their lighting.  Companies are saving big bucks by going green. Did you hear the one about the company that outsourced their technology to the "cloud" and saved money?  They saved money by ending the practice of buying computers that are extinct one year later.  They saved money by reducing their electricity bills from removing their inefficient server room.  They saved money by not needing a huge IT staff.  It's true.  Examples are everywhere.

If you are one of the few who are still reluctant, come to our next seminar on February 17 and see for yourself.  We'll give you hands on examples and tips that you can implement immediately to save your business money today.
