As states, cities, and the federal government pressure corporations to “Go Green,” there is a lot of ambiguity about what it takes to go Green. In the broad scope, this is a full-scale change from any consumptive practices, reduce strain on our limited resources, and decrease our dependency on petroleum. Unfortunately, this can not be done in one fell swoop. Like eating a cow, it must be done one steak at a time.

The best place to start is to with the simple and affordable levels of janitorial and office practices that can be modified without a serious overhaul of the company. Let’s face it. Going Green can be a huge financial outlay that may not be reasonable for many businesses. Certifying a Green Building can be a progressive and affordable task that turns any building into a Green Building that benefits the community.

Green Clean Institute offers a federal trademark certification for Green Buildings if they will submit a simple Green Survey and start a transition to a Green certified janitorial service. The cleaning service is the first step in operating a healthier and Greener office. The Green Survey creates a baseline for a Green program, and lays a foundation for improvements on a month by month basis.

Find our more about Green Building certification at www.GreenBusinessLeague.com. You can get your copy of the Green Survey, and start the process that can get your facility a Green Building certification in less than 30 days. This is not a rubber stamp, but requires that the janitorial service provide Green products and practices in the cleaning of the building.

The program is a year-long commitment that guides the facility manager through a series of suggested guideline to improve the Green quotient of the building. Green Business League offers a Green consultant program to those wishing greater help, however, we encourage that every business to take on the simple side of Greening by using our Green Survey program. You can always move to more complex programs later. Month by money, our program explains simple steps that help any building transition to Green program in a year’s time. The Green Business League is a resource and credential that demonstrates a commitment to the Green process. To keep the program honest, the program revisits the process each year. There are many ideas such as trash management techniques that need only small changes to your present operation.

The Green Awareness Report is the training program that is provided to the business each month with smart ideas for Greening. Each edition offers advice of the next step in Green practice. You will learn about the ten best plants for a Green office that remove pollution and add oxygen. You will learn outgassing and simple steps to reduce these harmful fumes from the building. Our system removes the barrier between the day workers of an office and the janitorial service.

Admittedly, there are dozens, even hundreds, of ideas to move any operation to a Green status. While impractical as a whole, the process is doable when taken in simple steps toward the greater goal. It is possible for a company to hire an environmental consultant, pay money for revamping of your facility, and hope that the benefits will outweigh the trouble. Your company could also choose to appoint key person in the facility to start the Green Survey. This same person would also work to incorporate the Green program in monthly stages with minimal cost. The Green Survey is the starting point and enables everyone to enjoy a healthier workplace.
