It is great to see big business adopting big green initiatives. It seems that the green trend has finally made it to the board room and more importantly it has made it out in companies' strategic plans. One notable program is Home Depot's Eco Options Program. The Program's goal is to make it easy to identify products that have less of an impact on the environment than competing products. I encourage a visit to the website since it's informative, engaging, and most importantly simple.
In a quick summary the Eco Options website covers many topics including the differences between organic and non-organic fertilizers, methods to reduce water usage, and products that can save energy in your home. It is a great resource for anyone looking to reduce their environmental footprint. In particular check out the Eco Options Virtual Home! It allows you to go room to room through a virtual house and highlight items and products for green tips.
Last but not least to celebrate Earth Day Home Depot is giving away 1,000,000 n:vision Compact Flourescent Light (CFL) bulbs to customers. It's not hard to see this is a play to get us "greenies" in the door at Home Depot, but that being said I'm sitting here contemplating if I need anything at Home Depot right now. In addition, I'm counting how many light bulbs I still need to replace with energy efficient CFLs. Great job Home Depot. Hopefully other companies and industries will follow suit.
