Within the past two to three years this big craze of “Going Green” has swept the nation. To be honest at first I did not understand the trend to “go green” like the rest of the world. After a little bit of research about making smart choices with the environment, it is easier for me to see why local companies make the switch to being a “Green” company.
Giving yourself a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to preserve rain forests and the environment, it can also mean improving your health, filling your bank account, and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life. Here are some “fun” facts I found on various websites:
1) Most baking instructions tell you to preheat your oven, never do so for more than ten minutes; if everybody reduced their oven time by an hour per year, we’d save enough energy to bake a billion cookies. (Fox Broadcasting Company)
2) When you travel with others you increase your fuel efficiency; find out about ride sharing and carpool opportunities in your area. (Fox Broadcasting Company)
3) Water is not a renewable resource. The trend to drink bottled Evian water is something that is essentially killing the ozone. The shipping and production of bottled water creates too many greenhouse gases that are harmful to the ozone. (Planet Green)
These facts, along with many more, have helped me realize a small change makes a big difference. Going green can help you save energy, be more fuel efficient, and help reduce greenhouse gases. Everything we do today has an impact on the world around us.
Batzner is doing its part by going green as well. For a pest management company this means applying treatment to a home only when it is necessary. This helps control the emission of greenhouse gases as well! Have a great green day.
