Since the first major effort to go green on April 22, 1970 Earth Day, we have tried to incite innovation on how to be more conscious of waste management and its effects on our environment. Thirty-nine years later, has your business come up with any ideas? Any idea that may improve your carbon footprint is a good one. If we collectively make improvements, we could produce major changes on the state of our energy challenges.
