a New Green Carreer
Become energy auditors is very easy and does not require a long time. There are many training classes that offer energy auditing. I believe that this training would help people get jobs or get new business for the coming year. This is caused by the green movement, so pushing the company to turn into an environmentally friendly industry, then many companies need workers who know about energy auditing
We all know that the earth and the environment in which we live is increasingly damaged. One of the causes of environmental degradation is logging out of control. We must contribute to prevent environmental damage starts with a simple way, ie do not use paper towel to clean something. Why? Because the paper towel is made from wood from the felling of trees in the forest. Alternatives to avoid using paper towels that we could use a hand dryers after washing hands.
Go Green, No CFC!
It is not a new issue that CFC (chloro fluoro carbon), also called freon, is one of the main substances causing ozone hole. Ozone hole passes the most harmful UV-B radiation to our earth. If you don’t know yet about its danger, too much exposed to UV-B radiation can lead you to sun burn or even skin cancer, indirect DNA damage, and cataract.
For the sake of our earth and our life, starting today, please reduce your dependence on CFC devices. You can choose refrigerator non-CFC, pick ceiling fans intead of air conditioner, etc.
ECOVER Uncovers Safe Products
ECOVER was started in 1979 in Belgium by Frans Boggaerts. Armed with more than 20 years experience in the detergent industry, he created a line of alternative products which would work as effectively as commercial cleaners but have as little negative environmental impact as possible.
Today, the ECOVER product line includes fabric softener, laundry washing powders and liquids, a wool wash liquid, nonchlorine bleach, cream cleanser, floor soap, toilet cleaner and dishwashing liquid. Their products are manufactured in Belgium and the U.S. and sold in more than 30 countries. ECOVER products are made without the use of phosphates, enzymes, optical brighteners, chlorine bleaches, petroleum based detergents, NTA, EDTA and synthetic perfumes or colorings. Their products are not tested on animals.
To educate consumers and promote their products, ECOVER has produced “The ECOVER Code” as a guideline to help consumers understand many of the manufacturing processes and ingredients that are part of conventional cleaning products and why use of those products can have a strong negative impact on the ecosystem.
“At ECOVER, we feel a strong responsibility to do our part in preserving the planet,” said Ellen Weiser, ECOVER spokesperson.
What’s in it for ECOVER?
ECOVER has built a successful, profitable international business providing effective, environmentally responsible household products. Educating the public about the impact of consumer products on the environment has been a successful component of the company’s marketing strategy.
