The New Zealand public and business are starting to embrace the idea of making greener choices and how these effect the environment like using more efficient light bulbs, recycling, becoming more efficient with transport, to name a few.
Very few business are able to label themselves completely "green" however all business can action positive changes within aspects of their business, which will reduce the global footprint generated by their product or service.
For a small business such as a local mechanic, traditionally perceived as non- "green" by the sheer nature of his business, this can mean that the efforts made to recycle his oil, rags, tyres and decisions to use biodegradable washing products can now be promoted. In this sense he runs the best "green" operation he can.
These green actions might in turn affect positive change within the mechanic industry, as other businesses see options for greenness that they never knew existed. This is the mechanic Greenpages want to support, and Greenpages is where the consumer can find him.
Being green for a large company however, might mean something quite different like investing millions of dollars in renewable energy research, slashing carbon dioxide emissions and drastically reducing energy consumption. Or it might just mean they have made some of their own purchasing choices that due to the economy of scale, really does make a difference to the planet.
Until now there has been no place to showcase all the positive actions being under taken by businesses to provide the same quality, or better products and services with a lighter footprint on the environment. Simply by being in Greenpages the New Zealand public will finally get to see what your business does for the environment and there is no better time than this.
