If you are serious about the environment,
then it probably isn’t a stretch to assume that you put a priority on Eco-friendly, Green based businesses. My Green
Awards was founded to help others locate and review many of these businesses.
It is important to note that not
ALL companies that claim to be Green are completely Green. Unfortunately, going Green can be a big investment and can be costly
for many small to medium sized business owners.
Even small investments in eco friendly
philosophies are a step in the right direction and My Green Awards will still include these companies on our website
We always recommend that you review
each website carefully and look for their environmental commitments. If you don’t see their Green Commitment on their
Home page, check their “About Us” page or “Site Map”. For example, check this website out. If you
look down the left hand side, you will see their “Carbon Neutral” icon. These are the types of things you should
look for.
You can always do a site “Search”
if they offer one, or simply send them an email. If you find a company you are happy with, please consider rewarding them
with your purchase.
At this time, My Green Awards is
focusing on three areas of Green business:
Web Hosting- Companies that support
Web Hosting rely on huge amounts of energy, so we are looking for hosting companies that are diversifying their power needs
by going solar or purchasing from carbon neutral power suppliers.
Computer, Cell phone and Inkjet
recycling-cell phone, computer and inkjet cartridges are responsible for much of the toxic waste that inhabits our planet.
Cell phones and Computers go obsolete very quickly as do their accessories like monitors and printers. Inkjet cartridge recycling
and refurbishing is one of’ the easiest means of helping to reduce waste. Look for cell phone and computer companies
that offer recycling and if possible, purchase refurbished or recycled equipment.
Organic and natural cosmetics and
skin care products-with the baby boomer generation graciously aging, there has been a big emphasis put on finding organic
and natural health and beauty products. The boomer generation is very Green conscious and will often seek out and purchase
from Green friendly companies. My Green Awards is focused on providing these items through our Health and Beauty page.
We picked these topics due to their
popularity and the environmental impact each of them is accountable for, Please look through each of these websites and consider
rewarding their Going Green efforts by purchasing from them. Let’s keep them in business.
Don’t be obscene, GO GREEN!
