1. Reduce your energy costs 25%.
How much are your heating and electric bills each month? Energy costs represent about 30% of commercial building costs. Converting to higher efficiency lighting, adding insulation, reducing idle computer time, and instituting other green practices will conservatively save you 25% on your utility bills. Payback is comparable to other good investments.
2. Reduce your water bill 25%.
Low-flow restroom fixtures, lavatories and sinks make a big difference. If you have landscaping, new irrigation technology and local plants and trees contribute to savings. Have any grass mowed to three inches in the summer and it will stay greener with less water.
3. Recruit the best young employees.
92% of college students say they want to work for a green company. When you begin hiring in full force again, don't miss out on motivated young talent who make employment decisions based on a new set of criteria: location, flexibility and environmental responsibility.
