How to Make Your Business More Environmentally-Conscious & Lessen Its Carbon Footprint

In honor of Earth Day on Friday, April 22nd, we’re focusing on the theme of “Investing in Our Planet.” So how do we invest in our planet? Businesses, governments, and individuals must work together to act, innovate, and implement to preserve our planet. This requires us to take into consideration how our everyday choices affect the health of our planet and then make changes to our actions in order to protect our world.
