What Does The Greening Of The World Mean To Me?
4 Areas that Going Green Will Help!
01
Employment
The green economy could create 24 million new jobs according to the United Nations Sustainable Development Council. From green construction, to solar farm development, electric vehicles and more, there will be millions of new, high paying available jobs.
02
Cost Savings
A significant economic benefit of going green is that it helps lower costs and save money. The use of renewable energy helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn helps save money spent on electricity bills (which is a benefit to the individual). Going green at home helps reduce water and power bills significantly.
03
Lower Taxes
More and more national, state and local governments are incentivizing the move towards going green by providing tax breaks and other incentives. We have compiled a list of links for the U.S. and will be adding more for international benefits in the near future.
04
Healthier Foods
By starting a in-home or vertical garden will allow you to supplement your families food supply, but also ensure the organic nature of the fruits and vegetables you grow and feed to yourselves and your children.
