Here’s a book businesses should take a look at. Whether they are big or small any business could use a green makeover, even in this tough economy. Better yet, they could do a green makeover because of the economy.
Many people do not realize that going green isn’t just about replacing everything with something greener, in fact many times going green can help cut costs, save energy, and save money. So businesses that go green save green and often end up making more green because of it.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Greening Your Business
Perhaps businesses here in Michigan should really take a look at this book (more green is something Michigan could really use right now). I know with the economy constantly getting worse and worse here, the last thing businesses want to deal with is trying to change things while struggling to survive. But the thing is…sometimes change is the key to survival.
We’ve seen this throughout time. Creatures that can not adapt to change and to new environments are those who become extinct. The same is true in the business world.

I wonder if web conferencing is included in the book. With today’s increasingly eco-conscious consumer, one of the smartest things a business can do is cut down on its carbon emissions. Web conferencing does just that, as no energy is expended on flying or driving out of town. What’s even more impressive is being able to track this carbon savings. I recommend iLinc for that — a web conferencing provider that has a “Green Meter” that calculates how much carbon is saved for each web conference based on the number of participants and how far they would have had to travel to reach the conference facilitator’s host city.
