The green business focuses on making a profit while having a negligible impact on the environment. Leaders within the industry make sustainability a key consideration in decision-making throughout the organization. They work to minimize both use and production of harmful chemicals, excess materials, and waste byproducts in the delivery of their goods and services. Large factories install solar panels to reduce energy costs while a local restaurant may deliver by bicycle to reduce emissions. A warehouse may install energy saving light bulbs while a home builder may use insulation made from recycled denim. But increasingly it’s becoming the standard that companies recognize the cost savings and potential profitability of going green; more and more are taking steps, small and large, toward greater sustainability. Buying products and services that don’t harm the environment is one of the most powerful choices a consumer can make. Environmentally preferable products are generally: Less toxic, minimally polluting, more energy efficient, safer and healthier for patients, workers, and the environment, higher in recycled content, packed in less packaging material. Organic, natural products promote the health and wellness of our body and world. And that’s why I prefer to buy green foods.
