Pay As You Throw! The Waste We Never Realized We Made: A Perspective on a Green Business Opportunity

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

I recently moved to a city that participates in the Pay-As-You-Throw program. For those of you that are not familiar with this, it is a program were residents are charged to have their municipal solid waste (your typical household trash) collected. The reason for the establishment of this program is to create a direct economic incentive for people to recycle more and to produce less waste.

Today there are more than 7,000 communities participating in the PAYT program and benefiting from it! With less waste being collected, their community increases their revenue. For instance, the town of Concord, N.H has been a participant in the PAYT program since July 26^th, 2006. As a result, Concord is saving the city about $528,000 annually and has increased recycling by 75%. What do you think is at the root of these savings? More scrutiny on what is thrown and what is recycled. Residents of the city see a direct correlation between wastefully throwing away trash, and paying to do so.

Not only do cities like Concord, N.H. save money, but they also reduce the size of landfills, which is critical for reducing greenhouse gas emissions- the chief source of methane, a greenhouse gas that is at least 23 times as powerful as carbon dioxide.

With that said, by creating your own entirely green business, you could be the key source to helping other companies cut back on wasteful habits and help reduce the size of landfills. Truth be told, every business has trash. But it is how they take out their trash that matters. So the next time you see a purple (or other color) trash bag on the side of the road on dump day, think of how you could the owner of your own business and help you community at the same time!

It’s National BBQ Month, but Look at all that Trash!

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

May is National BBQ Month. The sun is out, the snow is melted, the mud is gone, and the flowers are in full bloom, therefore it is time to clean out the grills and bring out the patio furniture! While we are all excited to grill some burgers or steak tips with our family and friends, we are often unaware with how much trash is created. Think about it. When we are loading up our plates we are already using one recyclable item, a plastic/paper plate. However, a plastic or paper plate is not the only recyclable item used during the gathering, plastic forks, knives, spoons, and cups are all used multiple times throughout the day. And if there is desert, well the total of recyclable items double! With all these recyclable items being used, are they being thrown away properly in recycle bins or are they being tossed away into the garbage? Think of this, and then imagine how it translates to a business and you’ll realize that the amount of waste that happens every day is astronomical!

Barbeques are not the only places where we are often unaware with how many recyclable items get thrown away undetected. On a daily basis, office complexes create more trash by photo copying mistakes, hand written notes, coffee breaks, and lunch breaks. Every time these items are thrown into the waste basket, money is being tossed away too. But you could be the one to turn around this constant cycle of waste. By taking advantage of yourown own entirely green business opportunity, you will have the tools and skills to help other companies save money while recycling their daily waste.

So in the coming weeks, when you find yourself enjoying a much-deserved summer barbeque, think of how you could be the owner of your own business, with Environmental Waste Solutions proven methods, capitalizing on a green at home business with the one the only thing you can always count on being available …trash.

A Wasteful Lunch Break and Another Reminder that Green Business Opportunities are Around Every Corner

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

A few weekends ago I visited a friend at his workplace during his lunch break. While I was there, we both had a quick bite to eat and caught up on the current events in our lives. After his lunch hour had long past, we realized we had to go and I also realized that it was time for me to go home and get some work done. However, when I was cleaning up after myself, I realized that I was being forced to throw away all my recyclable items. This meant that the items that I was using to eat my meal- my plastic container, plastic fork and knife, and aluminum can- were all being thrown away and turned into waste.

With my friend noticing his time was up, I offered to stay behind and clean up, and that was when I got the moment to think about how much waste his workplace was creating, and how much money they were potentially wasting – all because of some simple oversights in their break room. Think about it. Within his company, there were about 20 employees. Along with the 20 employees, come wasted paper, snack wrappers, plastic bottles, and much more.

If you haven’t noticed already, I’ve developed a keen eye for waste in these types of situations, and its never more apparent than when your on the outside looking in. From my position, I had an uncensored glimpse at all the blatant waste my friend’s business was letting fall through the cracks (and you can be sure I told him about it!), and naturally I thought to myself – “Someone can be the answer to this company’s problem.”

By creating your own at home business, not only will you be able to be your own boss and create your own work schedule, but you will have the ability to help other companies save money through recycling. So the next time you are having lunch with a friend, think about how you could be saving their business money by recycling their daily waste — all with a green business opportunity to thank.

Don’t Contribute to a Disaster – Recycle More with a Green Business Opportunity

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

On May 18, 1980 at 8:32 am the most catastrophic eruption shook the Pacific Northwest. The day that Mount Saint Helens erupted, 57 people lost their lives, 250 homes burned, 47 bridges were ruined, 15 miles of railway were destroyed, and 185 miles of highway were decimated. To this day, the eruption of Mount Saint Helens is known as the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event to happen in the history of the United States. However, no matter how horrible and devastating this event may have been, it serves as a perfect example, because the communities affected by such a disaster always bounce back and become stronger than before.

All the time, there are events in our day to day lives that can create catastrophe as well. But when it comes down to it, it’s the efforts we make that allow us to come away from catastrophe better than we were before.

For instance, how about your career choice? Do you feel like you have made the right decision? Or do you feel that you are in a work situation that will soon or later fall apart? What if I told you that could be your own business capitalizing on the only thing that is always around you – trash!

While your career choice right now might seem like an emergency, you can recover with your own independent and proactive push to make a difference. You would be making a profit while helping to make a dent in one thing that causes more people annoyance than joy. By creating your own entirely green business, you would have the opportunity to help other companies save money that they are throwing away by helping them go green and make a positive impact on the environment. In the end, you turn your own personal disaster into a positive.

Just as communities around the world prove, even the largest disaster can one day become a positive. So next time you think your vocation is a disaster, just think about how it’s always possible to bounce back. You might even be able to do it with a work at home business opportunity that’s green.

Memorial Day: A Reminder Every Year to Be Our Best, So Why Not Improve Your Life with Your Own Business?

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

Memorial Day is a day that symbolizes a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan (the national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic). The first observation of Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, was on May 30, 1868 by placing flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers buried at the Arlington National Cemetery. In 1873, New York was the first state to officially recognize this holiday and by 1890 all of the northern states joined by celebrating not only those who died fighting in the Civil War but now honoring all Americans who have died fighting any war.

For many, the last Saturday of May is a time to spend with family and friends celebrating with parades, barbeques, and swimming. However, as much fun as parties are…not matter what time of the year it is…they create more trash than we are aware of.

For instance, when we go to get a plate of food, we are using a plastic plate. While we are eating our food, we are using plastic forks, spoons, and knives along with paper napkins and plastic cups to wash it all down. With all this waste being created, are you given the opportunity to recycle it? Most likely not, therefore there are a lot of recyclable items being tossed out. However, family barbeques are not the only place where the waste war is taking over.

By creating your own green at home business, you will have the ability to help other companies realize how much recyclable items they throw away on a daily basis and create a plan of attack to fix the problem. By creating a recycling plan, not only will you be making a profit but they too will be saving thousands of dollars just by recycling. So the next time you are at a Memorial Day party, think about how you could be working for yourself and helping others recycle, making a difference in your own way.

Fast Food and the Art of Recycling

Monday, May 9th, 2011

This past weekend was extremely busy. Like many at this time of year your free time is consumed with cleaning the yard, packing up the winter gear, and getting ready for summer. While I was out running errands with a family member we decided to stop at a fast food restaurant for a quick lunch.

As we were enjoying each other’s company and our lunch, I noticed that we had a lot of recyclable items on our trays. For instance, we both had plastic containers from our salads, paper cups, and numerous plastic utensils. And once it was time for us to leave, we were forced to throw all our recyclables into the trash baskets. But it was not only the two of us that were throwing away recyclable items, there were at least 12 other people throwing their garbage away. However, if restaurants like this particular one gave their patrons the opportunity to recycle, then they would not be throwing thousands of dollars out the door every year.

When we recycle we are not only saving natural resources but we are also saving money and creating jobs. Recycling is not only a process that can be the least expensive way to control waste management for cities and towns, but is a method that creates a lot more jobs than landfills or incinerators. In fact, recycling could be benefiting you! By taking advantage of your own entirely green business opportunity, not only will you be able work from the comfort of your own home, but you will be able to make a profit by showing other companies how they could be saving more by recycling their day to day waste.

So the next time you are taking a quick break at a fast food restaurant, look to see how they handle their “waste”. Do they have a recycling system in the building? If not, you could be the answer to their wasteful habits!

Every Celebration is a Chance to Examine the Way We Treat Waste: Viva La Revolucion Verde!

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Cinco de Mayo is soon approaching. For many this means bringing out the sombreros, coronas, and having a party! But what most don’t know is that Cinco de Mayo is really about celebrating the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army in the Battle of Pueblo in 1862. This particular battle hit the Mexican people at a very violent and chaotic time. They had finally gained their independence from Spain in 1821, only after a very complex and bloody struggle. In addition, Mexico experienced a number of political revolutions and wars, including the Mexican-American War, fought in 1846-1848, and the Mexican Civil War of 1858.

Through these struggles and wars, the Mexican economy was ruined and had collected heavy debts to several nations: Spain, England, and France (who were demanding repayment). Mexico had settled their debt to the U.S. after the Mexico-American War. However, France was looking to expand their empire and the debt situation over Mexico to their advantage. In the end, the Mexican militia won, and the nation developed a sense of unity- the reason of the establishment of this holiday.

Now you are probably wondering what the history of Mexico and Cinco de Mayo has to do with you. I want you to think about your life and career for a moment. Have you ever accumulated debt, fought hard ruthless battles within your career choice, or found no support from co-workers in a time of need? If any of this applies to you then I have a suggestion.

Just like the Mexican Militia overcame the French, you can overcome your source of anguish. Every problem has a solution, all it takes is to identify the problem and approach it with a solution. If one of your problems is your career or a lack of money, I have a suggestion –be your own boss, choose your own work schedule, and your employees – VIVA LA REVOLUCION! (Just kidding).

By creating your own entirely green business, not only will you be able to work from the comfort of your own home, but you will be capitalizing on the one thing you can always count on-trash! With the right tools and skills, you will be able to help other companies prepare for battle and save money by recycling their daily dump!

So the next time your friends or family ask you to a Cinco de Mayo gathering, think about starting your own at home business and how you could become victorious in the waste war.

Arbor Day: A Fantastic Occasion to start a Green Home Business

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Arbor Day is a national holiday that began on April 10, 1872 by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska City, Nebraska. While the holiday has come to lend a “green” hue to the entire month of April, the day now officially occurs on the last friday of the month — today!

On the very first Arbor Day there was an estimation of one million trees planted on that particular day. Today many countries, including the United States, observe Arbor Day. Due to climate and planting seasons, not every country celebrates Arbor Day on the same day, but it usually is celebrated in the spring.

Wherever you are, Arbor Day is typically observed by individuals and groups planting new trees and/or caring for already existing trees. But if you want to go above and beyond the call of duty with saving trees everyday rather than just one day of the year, I have the perfect plan for you!

When you take a deeper look, a lot of paper products are wasted throughout a work day such as: paper, paper plates, napkins, cups, paper bags to bring in your lunch from home, etc. Once these paper items have served their purpose, where do they go? Typically they are crumpled up and tossed into the waste basket without a second thought. With the right tools and skills, you will be able to put an end to all this waste and save more trees on a daily basis. Additionally, by helping other business save more through recycling, you too will be able to make a profit while saving our environment.

So on the 29th don’t only celebrate this national holiday by planting and caring for a few trees. Instead have a long term effect on our environment, start your own entirely green business with a work at home business opportunity that actually works, and save multiple trees all year round.

Earth Day: Your Motivation to Start in on a Green Business Opportunity Or Be a Green Business

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

April 22nd marks the 41st anniversary of the first modern environmental movement. Earth Day came into the picture thanks to a man named Gaylord Nelson-then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin. Nelson came up with the idea after witnessing a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in 1969. However, what truly inspired this U.S. Senator was the student anti-war movement. With their determination and energy, 20 million Americans took the streets, parks, and auditoriums on April 22nd and spoke out about the need for a strong, sustainable environment.

As a result, in 1990, a group of environmental leaders approached a man names Denis Hayes to create another big campaign for a cleaner earth. This time, Earth Day went global. Today, we still celebrate Earth Day as a huge celebration, but what if we celebrate Earth Day every day?

If people around the world celebrated Earth Day 365 days of the year, we would make an enormous impact on our environment. In fact, one way that you can begin your green journey is by starting your own entirely green business with an exciting new green business opportunity. With the right skills and knowledge, you will be able to help other businesses save thousands while reducing waste through recycling and putting more greens back into your wallet.

So the next time you are at an Earth Day celebration, think of how you could be celebrating this exciting event every day and not just on April 22nd. By creating your own business, you too will have the opportunity to make a difference like Nelson and Hayes.
