Labor Day - A perfect example of why you need a work at home business.

So, yesterday was   Labor Day. Did you have it off? Maybe you did and maybe you didn’t – but the question begs asking, “are you in a labor daze?” Do you go to work day and day out only to sit down at night and wonder, “what am I accomplishing?”  Maybe a change of career is what you need.

Years ago (more than I can even count), I felt the same exact way. I was tired of work work work, without the payoff that I was looking for, and I figured that the only way to truly get everything I put into my work would be to be my own boss.

I tried making it in one business – it didn’t work and I tried making it in another – it didn’t pay off. But finally I looked around. I saw all the trash that gets hauled away and realized that businesses waste money every day when it comes to business waste such as unused materials, common recyclables, and industrial waste.

I had it – not only a business opportunity that works, but a green business opportunity that helped businesses recycle and save money. Every business creates waste, every business wants to save money, and by earning half of what each business saved on the cost of their waste – they paid nothing out of pocket. It was a win-win for everyone.

Have you succeeded with a work at home business? Or maybe you’ve started a similar green business. Share your stories in the comments, and maybe we’ll delve deeper into what you have to say in a future post.

A business opportunity based on recycling is kind of like raking leaves

We’re not too sure about your families, but for many of us – the earliest beginnings of Fall bring to mind a number of traditions. From yearly family outings we squeeze into the last days of summer to the first family activities that are distinctly reserved for autumn, seasonal traditions are everywhere– but around here, the coming of fall brings to mind one distinct tradition, raking leaves.

Depending on your side of the country, not only will you begin to see leaves peppering the ground, but the thought will cross your mind that those leaves will, eventually, need to be disposed of, and that’s where the connection to waste is (you knew it was coming). Raking leaves is just like taking care of business waste. Without raking, your yard’s a mess. Without recycling, your business – and potentially your finances— can be a mess as well.

What are leaves? They look good, they smell good – but essentially, they’re trash. Left on your lawn, they’ll make it look bad and they’ll kill your grass.

What is trash? Trash doesn’t look good, trash doesn’t smell good, and if left on your lawn, everyone will avoid you.

Okay, so maybe in that sense, trash and leaves aren’t painfully similar, but when you think of how you can dispose of them, the similarities arise.

You can recycle leaves, and you can recycle trash. Doing both of these things has a positive effect on the environment and on your image. In that sense, recycling trash – just like recycling leaves – presents an opportunity for businesses to be better.  Just like recycling leaves will save you money by saving your grass – recycling business waste helps a business save money by making waste streams greener and more efficient. But most business owners don’t see this, they’re too busy. You can help them, and make a green business opportunity out of streamlining business waste in a wide variety of industries.
Have you ever wanted to be your own boss and start a work at home business? Now’s your chance. The leaves are fragrant, the trash is pungent – and it’s time to cash in.

Well, now it’s almost September and while it may not be as exciting as “National Panini Month” there are a lot of opportunities to look forward to – opportunities to be your own boss and work at home – all through the value of recycling.

Every time September Rolls around, it’s hard not to think about all the kids everywhere going to school. From kindergartners all the way up to college students – they’re all getting ready to head back. However, the one thing I can’t stop thinking about is how much trash they must create! Think about all that paper!

We wrote earlier in the month that recycling all the newspapers in the country could power 50 million homes for 20 years! Now imagine if the same was done for writing paper and computer paper thrown away every year in schools across the country.

Think about all of those schools, and then think about how many of them don’t recycle, or of the ones that do, how inefficient they are at it. Hauling all that paper to the dump is money spent, energy wasted, and money thrown away that could be saved instead.

Just like businesses, schools have budgets too – and they’re always looking to cut costs. If you can help a school save money – you could be saving someone’s job, or making sure certain programs have the funding they need to buy supplies. That’s how big of a difference recycling can make. It’s undeniable that waste has value,  and all you have to do to  earn more money with a green business opportunity is spread the knowledge.

what do sandwiches have to do with a green business opportunity?

Have you ever driven behind a restaurant? If you have, chances are you’ve seen a large green dumpster filled to the brim with uneaten food, spoiled ingredients, old napkins, and much  more. Restaurants create a serious amount of waste.

Think about it, when you cook at home – whether you’re making paninis to celebrate ‘panini month’ or a scrambled egg— it’s hard not to make a mess, and quite  a lot can get thrown away. Now multiply that so that you’re cooking and cleaning  after hundreds of people every day, and the full-to-the-brim dumpster doesn’t seem all that out of place.

But what do you think a restaurant would say if they could save money by recycling instead? Especially in an economy like ours, businesses are always looking for ways to save money. If you can shift your perspective just a little bit, you can go from seeing all the delicious paninis a restaurant is making for ‘panini month’ to all the trash they create.

Actually that wouldn’t make going to restaurant’s very fun would it? Instead, you can keep seeing all the delicious food. However, at the same time you’ll also be able to see and understand all the opportunities for restaurants to recycle better and save more. For you, it’s a fantastic new green business opportunity, for restaurants, it’s a chance to go green, make a difference, and save some money. It’s actually really simple.

If you’re like me – you love the independence of a work at home business, and recycling is the perfect opportunity to work at home and make a difference at the same time. Here’s one of the perks: I am going to get up, right now, and order a panini.

Recycling is Everywhere

Many times it seems that businesses aren’t recycling as much as they can be – even though these businesses are the same places where so many individual recyclers work every day. However, it may be the case that these businesses aren’t not recycling because they don’t want to or don’t feel that they need to, but because they don’t know that they can.

All it takes is for a waste stream to change paths and become a recycling stream, and the impact can be astonishing. Just last week I wrote that  the wood and paper thrown away every year by Americans is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years. 20 years! All from recycling. That’s more than just saving money – which every business cares about – but it’s also energy saved and yet another step towards helping to save the environment.

So why not recycle like we do in our homes in our businesses? All it takes is educating businesses on the potential of recycling, and before you know it – it’s a green business opportunity in the making.

Earn money and go green with a green business opportunity

Did you know….

• When you recycle an aluminum can, it can be back on the grocery store shelf in under 60 days.
• If every newspaper was recycled, it would be possible to save about 250,000,000 trees every year, requiring less fuel consumption, less energy used in the creation of new paper, and savings overall
• The wood and paper thrown away every year by Americans is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years.
• Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as disposing of it through incineration.
• Recycling glass can not only cut down on the consumption of raw materials, but it also cuts down on the amount of energy wasted transporting raw materials.
• Recycling  aluminum cans directly results in the conservation of gasoline.

…and that’s just to name a few!

As you can see, recycling can have a serious impact. Not only by directly preventing waste, but by preventing the chain reaction of waste that occurs when we fail to recycle – from wasted energy and gasoline to the energy used to mine, process, and utilize raw materials. With recycling, businesses can save money  – and with that knowledge, you can help them do it with a green business opportunity — working as your own boss.  In the end, everyone is better off, the environment, businesses, and you.

Recycling glass bottles could be part of a lucrative new business opportunity

1. Glass is created from raw materials: an energy intensive process using sand, lime, and soda is undertaken to provide  glass in many shapes, forms, colors, and consistencies.

2. Glass is filled with product: whatever it may be, the glass is filled with what you need or manufactured to be whatever you need it to be. From a food or drink container to a light bulb and everything in between.

3. Glass fulfills its purpose: is the glass now useless? Soon you will decide.

4. A) Glass is thrown away  or B) Glass is recycled.

Herein lies the decision. Like a kids book where you choose the ending. Choose A) and the story ends, choose B) and it continues – on and on. Let’s assume you chose B

5. Recycled Glass is broken down and crushed: this process created what those in the industry call “cullet” – crushed glass that is ready to be re-melted.

6. Glass is re-melted: recycled glass is re-melted and ready to be used in whatever product it needs to be.

7. Glass is reused: recycled glass is incorporated into many of the same products it began its journey as.

8. And the story continues…

Simply knowing the possibilities recycling provides opens many doors to incredible savings for businesses that might not realize the potential in recycling. Across the country, independent waste consultants have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars consulting businesses so they can save more by recycling. These businessmen and women, taking advantage of a new green business opportunity make a difference while turning to an industry that – so long as there is waste – there will always be opportunity.

Do you see a day where there will no longer be waste?

1. Spend more time with your family

Many times, our affiliates tell us that a major reason they wanted to start a home business was to be able to spend more time with their family. Maybe they simply needed a change, or were transitioning from life without to life with children – either way, for the focused individual, working at home gives you the time you need to both have a family and  succeed.

2. Enjoy more financial freedom

Sometimes the potential you need to earn more is already at your fingertips. Maybe you don’t need anyone else to earn more. Many affiliates say that with the right motivation, all you need is you, to earn more with a work at home business opportunity.

3. Do what you want, when you want

For some, there’s something soul crushing about calling someone your “boss”.  If you’re so inclined – a green home business opportunity is your ticket to be your own boss, and take that dream vacation you’ve always wanted.

4. Say goodbye to office drama

Many affiliates report that the final straw that made the shift from traditional employment to embarking on a home business opportunity was the “curse of the curmudgeon”. The office grump. The drama queen, the feeding frenzy of office drama that makes an otherwise peaceful and productive day, a living nightmare. Working at home as an independent waste consultant is an ideal solution.

5. Reap the rewards of your hard work

Ever feel like you’re not getting a fair deal? With a work at home business opportunity, the harder you try – the more you earn. When you’re your own boss, you get what you put in – always.

we’re going to talk about international beer day. Not to necessarily promote or support it, but to consider it for its relevance in recycling.

You can earn more recycling aluminum, such as aluminum beer cans

Think of all the aluminum cans that we go through as a society. Especially on today, one day of one month where there might just be a large amount of aluminum cans going to waste (beer or otherwise).  The possibilities in recycling are nearly endless.

Materials such as aluminum are much more valuable than you may think. Recycling aluminum prevents wasted energy and lost money in a number of ways.  From the raw materials to make more cans, straight on down to the gas needed to haul trash that could have been recycled, to the dump.

We’ve said it before, but it’s all about perspective. Take a second to consider all the people throwing away aluminum c

ans today. Somewhere in the world, right now, there is a celebra

ion going on to commemorate “international beer day”. Do you think all of those bottles and cans are getting recycled? It’s likely they are not, and that’s where you can earn more with a green home business opportunity.

Take a look around and notice where there’s waste where there could be gain through recycling. Everywhere, there’s opportunity – you just have to see it. If you’re looking for a business opportunity that works for you and makes a difference, why not give recycling a try?

Spread the green, and spread the wealth.

There were most likely the days that you looked forward to your very own new beginnings. The start of a new school year, a new career, a nice promotion, and maybe more. Do you ever feel that your milestones are now fewer and far between?  Perhaps it’s time to start making your own beginnings.

One way to create a new beginning for yourself is to start a home business. Being a business owner doesn’t have to be as toilsome and time consuming as you may think. You can live your life and work at home while making money you didn’t know you could. This is where an opportunity like ours comes in. For the EWS affiliates reading, you know what we’re talking about. But if you haven’t taken the leap and started your own home business – counting on trash can be one of the most profitable choices you can make.

You read it right: Trash

Every day, people throw away more and more that can be recycled, and with the speed that recycling is becoming more advanced – the magnitude of what can be recycled and reused is growing every day. That means that more of the trash that gets thrown away is actually trash that can be saved.

There’s no point in going on and on about it, because it’s really this simple: Businesses save more money recycling. By helping business recycle, you can earn more. Why not give it a shot? Make a new beginning for yourself.
