Global Warming is in the news. It seems like everyone's "going green." We're glad you want to take action, too. Luckily, many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can make our lives better. Our grandchildren-and their children-will thank us for living more sustainably. More and more businesses are jumping on the eco-friendly trend. If you watch any amount of TV you're sure to have noticed many of the large brand name companies such as Johnson and Johnson and others dedicating whole commercials to their efforts to make more environmentally friendly products and to adapt to more green manufacturing processes. Going green isn't just a wave of the future. It's simply the only option we have for our planet if we are going to survive and thrive. If you are considering starting a small business, why not research some ideas that would be compatible with this trend. It's not only a smart move; you'll feel great about your business too. Let's start now

Some of the greatest threats to future resources come from things we throw away everyday. Household batteries and electronics often contain dangerous chemicals that may canuse problem, if sent to a local landfill, leak through the bottom barrier and pollute the groundwater. This can contaminate everything from the soil in which our food grows, to the water which will eventually come out of aquifers and into our tap water. Many of these chemicals cannot be removed from the drinking water supply, nor from the crops that are harvested from contaminated fields. The risks to human health are tremendous. Throwing away items that could be recycled diminishes energy, water and natural resources that could be saved by recycling. Did you know... The more we throw away, the more space we take up in landfills. When a landfill becomes a “landfull”, taxpayers have to build a new one. The less we throw away, the longer our landfills will last. The amount of taxpayer money we save by extending the longevity of our landfills is an important community benefit. The average global temperature has already risen by 0.74 degree centigrade in 2005 an air conditioner of 2.5 tonne emits 3 kilogram of Carbon Dioxide, microwave generates 1.3kg of CO2, a Geyser emits 3.3 kg of CO2 an hour. A car that gives mileage of 10 kilometres per litre of petrol leaves 232 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The list goes on... our computers, music system, TV, Radio Set, IPod, Hair Dryers, Washing Machines, electric stoves, electric shavers etc.
