Maybe it is time that you company set up a green policy.

Each policy that is listed outlines only a portion of what their green policy has to offer. If you are interested in all their ways that they are making an effort to be more eco-friendly, check out their green policies that are in affect.

Green Fleet Policy

This green policy was set up by the town of Castle Rock in order to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy. The green policy holds a lot of quick notes to help their residence. Some of the quick notes include; replacing fleet units with alternative fuel vehicles, creating a pool of vehicles accessible by departments, getting employees to use different methods of transportation such as using public transportation, not allowing town vehicles to idle more than 30 seconds unless required when parked, and much more. If the town proceeds to use these green guidelines they will save approximately 500,000 pounds per year of carbon dioxide, as reported by Your Hub.

More towns are starting to have a green policy in place after realizing the many benefits that our economy would have. Another place that is helping others to go green is the National Recycle Coalition with their Green Meetings Policy.
