I am a FreshBooks Client and own a professional service business specializing in online marketing, web development, and Internet business consulting for small to medium businesses. We advise our clients on how they could use technology and the Internet to make their business more eco-friendly and efficient. In general, the nature of our business is green. Web based business solutions save time, money, and resources. (no paper, ink, transportation, waste, etc.). (I.E., FreshBooks). We recently completed our carbon audit and purchased enough credits to have a negative carbon footprint. It is important for all businesses to become a voluntary carbon neutral company. Sooner or later it will be mandatory. Now is the time to start! I am happy to hear of your commitment for a greener future. Hi Mike, Great Post.
