The focus of the keynote presentation was "Going Green in the Connected Era," something that every business (regardless of size) can embrace. I met with John Holbrow, FSB Environment Chairman, and we discussed how small businesses are making a difference. An FSB-commissioned report released earlier this year found that an overwhelming majority of small businesses (92 percent) are socially and environmentally responsible. Eighty-three percent are already engaged in waste minimization and recycling.
The good news is that we can all do a lot more to help ensure a cleaner future.
"We can all commit to being carbon neutral, designing environmentally-responsible products and offering free recycling to consumers everywhere we do business. We can also partner with our customers and members of the ReGeneration -- people of all ages who care about the environment."
Working together, we will make a world of difference!
