  • Green Building Certification
    We are watching the federal government, states, and municipalities pass rules for corporations to "Go Green." There is a lot of confusion about what it takes to take a company Green. In the big view, Green business is a full-scale change from any harmful practices, reduce drain on our limited resources, and reduce our dependency on oil. Unfortunately, this can not be done in one easy step. Like eating an elephant, it must be done one piece at a time.
  • How to have a Green Building
    How much does it cost to become a Green office or Green Building? One of the challenges is that businesses have been encouraged to "Go Green," but they have not been told what Green represents unless you consider a rambling list of environmental and ecological changes an answer. In truth, it seems that the concept of a Green building has been hijacked and taken to every extreme possible.
  • Is your Janitorial Service Green?
    It may be amusing to see the sudden interest in moving to a Green business as this trend continues. Many companies are now realizing that the Green economy is going to hurt or help the revenue of their business. Suddenly, these business endeavor to demonstrate their Green commitment though it has only commercial value. Frankly, it doesn't take much to pretend to be Green because the public is still trying to figure it out.
  • Green Premiums for Janitorial Business
    During the time known as the Orange Era, citric cleaning products were brought to the market boasting of environmental safety, but left a stubborn mindset that these cleaning products were expensive and not as good as conventional products. The good news is that we are now in the Green Era, and the newer products are only 2% to 4% more expensive than commonly-used products. We are slowly discovering that the new generation of Green Products are as good or better than the products now in use by cleaning services.
  • Corporations face Green Litigation
    Jennifer Taggart is an attorney specializing in environmental litigation and compliance. Her practice includes advising clients on complying with consumer product labeling and consumer right-to-know laws. Prior to becoming an attorney, Jennifer was a compliance environmental engineer. In fact, I have found far more environmental attorneys online that I ever imagined. So, what do you think is going on when you see hundreds of the enemy coming at you? Trouble is coming!
  • New Respect For Janitorial Workers
    Though rarely seen, does it surprise you to learn that the Census Bureau tells us that there are more than 70,000 janitorial or maintenance services with more than one million janitors in our country? Janitorial services has been an unchanging business for more than a score of years is now in dramatic change and has become apart of the Green revolution. Most of us have paid scant attention to this industry as the workers come and went in the middle of the night leaving a freshly cleaned office for the daytime workers who show up each morning. It could be said that the janitorial worker is the silent and forgotten segment of the American workforce.
  • Expert Mold Technician
    Mold spores are everywhere in our world. An air sample will show you that mold spores can be found in even the most clean homes or buildings. All they need is a warm, moist area are to provide the environment to infect the organic material at hand. In the woods, mold attacks any dead organic material (particularly wood) and turns it into a form of fresh soil for new plant growth. Anyone can discover mold in a building by the strong, bleach like smell commonly found in the dark and damp place of your building. There seems to be no place where mold will not grow, and given the chance, it will affect millions of buildings each year.
  • Janitorial Greenwash Fraud
    Everyone is "Going Green" because all it seems to take is the addition of a few Green products to meet the loose criteria for a Green janitorial service. Green programs do not come packaged in a bottle of Green cleaner. Yet, the many manufactures want us to believe that using their product makes our homes, offices, or janitorial services Green
  • Janitorial Services Go Green
    Have you gone to a chemical manufacture's event with the promise of getting a Green certificate only to be sold on the company's cleaning products? These certificates are not worth the paper they are written on. You see, may claim to be Green Clean because they have a few Green products in the mix, but only those who actually use Green products and Green practices are truly Green.
