As small businesses, what can we do to slow global warming?
Dealing with the everyday struggles of managing a business, we don’t need any extra burden thrown on our backs. It is a constant uphill battle for us business owners. Yet, one glaring issue that seems far out in the distance strikes a cord when I think about the legacy we will leave for the next generations of small businesses.
As the global population continues to explode (6.8 Billion people and counting) and the world’s natural resources depleting, (http://record.wustl.edu/news/page/normal/12786.html) it is the small business that will feel the squeeze. Already reeling in tax obligations and healthcare challenges, we have limited resources to take on any new challenges.
Yet, in the distant horizon, is the threat of global Climate Change (http://www.siliconvalleygreenball.com/site/?page_id=27). What we do today, will affect what will happen tomorrow. And for small businesses to continue and thrive, we need to change how we do business and improve the environment. We need to come together, united as small businesses to do what we can to “do the right thing” and still be profitable. Because we are the most resilient, savvy and resourceful kind of people, the small business owner will adapt and persevere. It is our nature. Our challenge and our opportunity. http://www.blogactionday.org/
Power to the small business owner.
P.S. Tell us what you are doing to slow global warming and improve the environment.
