Why going Green is important
It's a good question and one you should be asking yourself... here are a few of the answers that we believe should be important to you.
1. The Environment Protection Act states that indoor air quality is one of the top 5 environmental risks to public health!
2. The chemicals that are used for cleaning offices have been measured at 5 billion pounds... every year! These chemicals are contributing to air and water pollution.
3. The average person spends 90% of their time indoors. Indoor air has 2-5 times the level of contaminants as outdoor air. People exposed to these contaminants experience:
• headaches,
• eye irritations,
• coughs,
• dry or itchy skin,
• nose and throat irritation,
• dizziness,
• nausea,
• fatigue,
• fragrance allergies
• difficulty in concentrating
It's not the chemicals alone that are causing allergic reactions, the problem is also the way they are used by the cleaners. This can make as much of a difference as the products used. HEPA filtered vacuums, damp dusting and walk-off mats are some of the ways cleaning can be more efficient and healthy.
Some of the advantages of "Going Green" include:
• Reduced liability exposure
• Improved productivity/performance
• Improved morale and "quality of life"
• Environmental responsibility
What if you could have your office cleaned in a healthier, safer way without increasing cost... with Select Janitorial, you can!
