Working on an environmental policy now may put you in the position of a leader, while waiting for the rest of your competition to get ahead may land you in a defensive position.
No matter what size or what kind of roofing work you do, it may be time for you to consider how "green building" initiatives might impact your contracting business. Working on an environmental policy now may put you in the position of a leader, while waiting for the rest of your competition to get ahead may land you in a defensive position.
My rationale for recommending an environmental strategy (business enhancement) may be more practical than honorable (or emotional as some environmentalists are inclined to be); but the end result should be the same. If everyone were to build with the idea of being environmentally responsible and conservative with nature and natural materials, the world should be a better place, no matter the motive.
