Kicking off the Green Business Spotlight
Who says Earth Day is only one day a year? We are celebrating Earth Day every day with our first round of Heights businesses in the Green Business Spotlight. Starting off, these two businesses are keeping it real with everyday businesses practices that reduce their environmental footprint. Learn how below!
Cedar Chiropractic & Physiotherapy
Putting their green foot forward, Cedar Chiropractic & Physiotherapy is a role model in its field. As shown below, their all-natural cleaners are safer for the environment, stored in reusable spray bottles, and contain fewer allergens. This is something you can implement at home, too!
Altogether, their green business practices are:
- Conversion to LED lighting (replacing conventional lighting).
- Using timed thermostats to reduce energy consumption.
- Committing to use all-natural cleaning supplies in janitorial applications.
- Composting used paper towels and headrest sheets.
United Optical
Heidi from United Optical is putting a new lens on green eye-care! When customers have used eye-glasses, she collects a basket full to donate to Third World Eyecare Society. There are some sweet frames in this collection. Each frame gets a much deserved second home. Next time you decide to get new eye-glasses, consider donating your old pair instead of throwing them away.
All of United Optical’s green business practices are:
- Using timed thermostats to reduce energy consumption.
- Encouraging customers to bring bottles back for refill rather than buying new eye-glasses cleaner.
- Encouraging the reuse of frames when appropriate.
- Repurposing used eye-glasses by donating them to Third World Eyecare Society and repurposing eye-care lenses, as well.
