Keeping an Eye on Technology Futures, No Hidden Agendas, New Attitudes, No Platitudes!
Most plants, factories and industrial systems were designed decades ago when the consequences of pollution and waste were not really considered. Now, companies are working to reduce their "environmental footprint," and not just for long-term humanitarian reasons.
Irrespective of whether or not man-made pollution is a contributing factor to natural global warming, "green" is gaining more attention because of the real profit opportunities.
The increasing attention to the causes of global climate change is happening concurrently with rising energy prices. Oil at $100-a-barrel brings new opportunities. Products that use less fuel and decrease emissions generate growth and profits.
The idea of "green" goes beyond the good feeling that we're saving the environment; it brings enormous opportunities for savings and profits.
Take a minute to do a green review of your own office, factory or plant. You'll find savings everywhere.
