Can Going Green Make Your Small Business Lean?

We small business owners have a lot on our plates, but as the linchpin of your small business, the struggle to make a success of it can keep your horizons fairly limited at times. The time commitment needed to keep the cogs of your business running smoothly can be significant. And when you’re not wrapped up in the day-to-day workload, there are always a thousand and one little matters that need sorting out – from filing tax returns, to supplier hassles, to keeping staff happy. So it’s not surprising that, for many ongoing small businesses, the environmental issues surrounding their activities can seem like so much fluff.

Can Going Green Affect the Bottom Line?
