Why Green Your Business?

Once you let your potential customers and clients know how you have "Greened" your practices, 80% will select you over your non Green competitors! 20% of consumers, the LOHAS group, will even pay a premium for your services!

Executive Director Chris Lowry was quoted in a recent Toronto Star article: Consumers who have shifted their thinking "are still willing to pay more for those things which they've decided are part of their health and well-being, (such as) having less chemicals in their lives," Lowry says. Eco-aware customers "are discerning. They are critical thinkers." As a result, "it backfires when you make claims that aren't substantiated in practice."(from "Eco-Friendly Calling", by Naomi Carniol)
