April 25, 2014. Employers consider going “green”, but the cost can grow bigger than the oceans we’re trying to save. Some businesses have the scale to accommodate green investment, such as Raven in Sioux Falls. Other businesses work on a smaller scale to find ways to lessen their environmental footprint. Hirschbach Motor Lines, a trucking company, invested in a more eco-efficient fleet of trucks several years ago to do its part to help the environment. Architects at PLaN Architecture, LLC, meet the nationally-recognized benchmarks for design of LEED projects. Goosmann Law Firm has planted a seed to become more environmentally friendly, by going as paperless as possible. The firm recycles and stays mostly electronic to lessen the use of paper.
Still other businesses encourage their employees to take up to several days out of the office to volunteer. In honor of Arbor Day, consider small steps in going green. What other simple steps has your business taken to become environmentally friendly?
