The Greening of Businesses


The more consumers and groups (such as churches) ask for products that help protect the environment, the more businesses will respond. A case in point is office product businesses. While searching online today, I noticed that both OfficeMax and Office Depot ffer 100% recycled paper that is acid free and produced without using chlorine bleaching.

But businesses are starting to do more...
  • Office Depot now even has a "Buy Green" section of its web site.
  • Staples has a EcoEasy page about its recycling programs.
As a bonus, I also noticed that my GoodSearch toolbar informed me that the local DCM charity gets 2-3% donation for sales through them!

So ask for what you'd really like from businesses. Email them about eco-friendly products that you don't see offered by them. Be part of the solution to waste and pollution.
