The earth’s climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse gases primarily carbon dioxide methane, and nitrous oxide. The heat-trapping property of these gases is undisputed. Although uncertainty exists about exactly how earth’s climate responds to these gases, global temperatures are rising.
Environmental problems have become so complex that many individuals feel they can have no effects on them. Problem like oil spills, hazardous waste loss of rain forests, endangered species, acid rain, the ozone layer, and the municipal waste crisis can feel out of our control. At the very least, these problems require group and corporate action or Government intervention.

Encourage all employees to actively promote environmental friendly habits within the office, their home and communities.
Save power fuel, water and other resources by promoting proper usage and maintenance of office and warehouse equipment, vehicles etc.
