Why go green?
Improves indoor air quality
Poor indoor air quality is probably the biggest eco-hurdle an office or commercial building faces in its day-to-day operations. The Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air pollution as one of the top five environmental risks to public health. In fact, the air inside is two to five times more polluted than the air outside, according to the EPA. No wonder why we all want to ski instead of work.
Improves image (and thus your bottom line)
Green is hot. People are voting with their dollar and choosing companies that practice good environmental policies over others who do business as usual.
Increases productivity
A cleaner work environment — sans chemicals — enhances employees’ comfort and health, which then improves performance and increases productivity. Cha-ching.
Reduce employee absences
Commercial cleaning products contain petroleum-based chemicals, synthetic based chemicals, volatile organic compounds and known carcinogens. These toxic chemicals go airborne, causing asthma, allergies and 50 percent of worker absences.
Reduce your impact on the natural environment
When flushed down the drain and into our watershed, toxic cleaning products wreak havoc on stream-fed wildlife, including our own drinking water. By allowing Organic Housekeepers to stock your office with Green Seal-approved toilet tissue and paper towels, you are reducing your natural resource consumption. Green cleaning will help your business preserve forests and bio diversity and keep our air and water clean.
