Environmentally responsible business management is in everyone's best interest, here are a few tips to help you run a successful "Green" business

Start a recycling program at work, if possible include composting
Recycle construction waste (chip old wood, compost gypsum, etc.)
Develop a responsible buying policy that includes products with less packaging and are either made from or packaged in recycled products.
Never purchase styrofoam containers. (Styrofoam is very hard to recycle and it is not biodegradable.)
