Environmental Benefits

 

Companies are finding that it is possible to make a positive impact on the environment by adopting business strategies that use raw materials, energy, water, and other natural resources more efficiently. By adopting environmentally sound business strategies, also known as pollution prevention, your company can:

• prevent greenhouse gas emissions;
• improve the air quality in your community;
• provide for the needs of future generations by using natural resources responsibly;
• conserve water—a precious resource in our desert environment;
• reduce the amount of toxic materials in our environment; and,
• reduce the amount of waste in landfills through source reduction, re-use, and recycling programs.
