Small business & Sustainability – Little changes you can make for big results this Earth Day

At Manomet, we affect meaningful change by engaging the key people within the natural and economic systems that profoundly impact our planet. Every day we are inspired by the steps people take to become leaders of sustainability—transforming the systems they manage from the inside-out.

If you work at one of the six million small businesses in this country, you have lots of opportunities to transform your piece of that larger ‘system’ and make decisions that will help your business be more sustainable. In honor of Earth Day 2016 – this Friday, April 22 – we’ve compiled some no-cost and easy-to-implement tips that your small business can use to measurably reduce its environmental impact. And as a bonus, many of the suggestions have the additional benefit of saving your business money and boosting employee engagement!
