Over the last two centuries we've severely abused most of our planet's
natural resources. The results can be seen in the heavy pollution
of our water, by the hazardous levels of toxins in our air, increase
in diseases related to toxicity, and by the massive waste disposal
problems we deal with day in and day out.
If you are in business and use manufacturing, packaging products
or haven't implemented a recycling program yet, here are some not-so-simple
facts you may be interested in.
Americans throw away enough
office paper each year to create a wall 12 ft. high reaching from
L.A. to New York City.
By recycling all of your
newspaper for only one year, you could save an estimated 4 trees

from raw materials.

can take up to 500 years
to break down in the landfill.
If you purchase products and services from people who operate without
accountability and/or are using child labor or devastating the planet
through heavy pesticide use or deforestation, you may make higher
profits and meet your bottom line...in some cases. But if you're
ready to meet a higher standard (a "top line" if you will)
we at eco-resolutions are ready
to work with you to incorporate sustainable alternatives
while still adhering to a determined profit margin
Most individuals and companies simply don't know where to begin
their transition to more environmentally safe and conscious practices.
We will match your goals and desires for change
with our commitment to build more than business. Together, we will
build a community where the sales point isn't measured only by price,
it's also calculated by the positive effect on the environment.
