One of the reasons why businesses are so eager to begin researching and adopting environmental practices is that setting an example does two things: 1. Setting an example of eco friendly practices encourages surrounding companies to do the same thing and this, in turn, tends to lead to lower cost of environmentally friendly operation since it is in greater demand. 2. Setting an example of eco friendly behavior directly impacts the environment, and therefore the wealth increase, around the physical location of the business itself. Companies in more well-to-do neighborhoods are more likely to receive higher quality community funding and a wealthier customer base. In Arizona, U.S.A., the ecological and economical variances and correlations in Phoenix were measured between 1970 and 2000. It turns out that today we are affecting our economic growth by only allowing ecological sustaining to occur in wealthier areas of the city. These areas are cool, green, nicer, and above the pay grade of the hotter, more desert-like conditions of poorer areas of the city which are not able to maintain ecological funding and area development. A business can greatly help itself by setting an example for businesses around them, thus lowering the cost of eco friendly operations, and by assisting the area around the business by increasing the living conditions and lifestyle of the inhabitants and employees. It turns out that ecological and economical development CAN go hand in hand. So does that mean that ecology does not have to be expensive?
One of the reasons why companies shy away from using eco friendly products is that the really effective ones can be really expensive. Unfortunately, until more people become aware of the condition of our planet and invest further in environmentally friendly production and development, these products may not be used enough to really drive price down. Fortunately, there are some companies, like Envirosafe Solutions, which are able to research and produce cost effective and produce effective eco friendly solutions for your home or office location.
