Last week PA Environment Digest highlighted Earth Day at home, on the farm and at school, this week we are pleased to put the spotlight on things businesses can do to save energy, reduce waste and cut water use to improve the environment and your bottom line in a special publication –Green Makes $ense – Save Money, Be Green.

Learn how just the 295 winners of the Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence have saved over $1 billion in operating costs by turning to green technologies and becoming more energy and resource efficient.

Our Digest this week gives you a good example in Bird-In-Hand Woodworks in Lancaster County and how they solved a business problem – lack of space—with green technology that reduced air emissions, increased efficiency and saved them real money.

Also learn from Stephen Zeller of Brinjac Engineering how a basic pollution prevention and energy efficiency audit can be the first step in helping you identify concrete ways to improve the environment and save you money.

Can the right energy management strategies create shareholder value? Learn how in this new executive briefing put together by www.GreenBIZ.com .

In the meantime, celebrate Earth Day by doing something positive for the environment, like finding a Great PA Cleanup! event near you by going to the Great PA Cleanup! webpage.
