Surface’s Welcome to Earth Week 2009: Green Evolution
We could change the world tomorrow if all the millions of people
around the world acted the way they believe.
April 22nd is Earth Day. A day both of celebration and appreciation for our earth and of the environmental movement's successes thus far; as well as an excellent opportunity to raise our awareness levels and the awareness of others to what we can do in our daily lives that will determine whether our world will become a safer, better place in which to live or fails to support life all together. In this regard we must face a fact; salons are major energy consumers and chemical polluters. Are we able to erase the large carbon foot print that our profession leaves? No. However we do have the ability to make product and consumption choices that will greatly reduce the size of our footprint. What may seem like ‘little things’ add up to be ‘big things’. Please take the time to read Surface ‘Profitability In A Green World’ and share this information with others. We owe it to the children of our earth to take personal responsibility in our actions to leave the earth a better place than we found it.

Profitability In A Green World
We could change the world tomorrow, if all the millions of people around the world acted the way they believe. Doing the right thing is not a sometimes thing; it is an all the time thing! It is who we are and how we live with the awareness, responsibility and process of doing what is right. Knowing that little things don’t mean a lot they mean everything!
