THE GREEN EARTH INITIATIVE |SAVE
NOW OR PAY LATER|THE
EARTHSMART CONSUMER
Wasted resources are wasted profit for our nation and a wasted future
for our children. Leading economists who once viewed resource conservation
as inconsequential now speak urgently of the need to conserve and seek
renewable resources. State governments are pleading with citizens to rethink,
reduce, reuse and recycle. The effects of decades of pollution are now
evident. Toxic waste cleanup efforts drain billions from our economy each
year, while the health hazards of pollution are proving dangerous and
widespread.
Clearly, we must act. If we conserve resources now, we can avoid higher
costs later for scarce raw materials. If we take steps to control pollution,
we can prevent expensive clean-up of toxic waste. A little education and
a few wise choices ,made now will have many long-term benefits for us
all.
Example: Homes and businesses in the United
States generate 230 million tons of garbage annually. Who pays the tab
for disposal? Property owners. With each load of trash, profit dollars
are being hauled away like garbage. Reducing waste is not only good for
the environment, it's good for your community’s budget and your
pocket book.
Example: Property owners can be held liable
for the health and safety of residents and workers. Products labeled "danger"
or "caution" are toxic to humans, animals and the environment.
Green products work as well, often cost less and reduce the danger to
residents and workers.
Example: Dependence on foreign energy poses
an ongoing threat to the US economy. Foreign or domestic, petroleum products
are a major cause of air pollution. Energy efficiency measures conserve
these irreplaceable resources.
