“The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.”
—Ernest Hemingway
The celebration of Earth Day is an inspiring time that can direct our actions beyond the immediate, everyday demands of our business to focus on the legacy we’ll leave behind. Here are a few earth-friendly ways you can use your business to make a positive impact for the next generation.
Start Small
Small actions performed consistently over time can lead to incredible results! Although grand eco-friendly gestures will certainly make a positive difference, choosing a few small ideas to incorporate into your business will add up to big change and set you apart. Choose to go paperless, use materials made out of recycled products, or set up recycling bins.
Did you know that LED lighting uses 75% less energy and can last 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs? This small action will streamline your efficiency, cut back on costs, and allow you to embrace a mindset to use less.
Lead Others
Shifting towards eco-friendly practices won’t go unnoticed by coworkers, employees, or those within your community. Often, people just need someone to lead the charge, give them guidance, or start the conversation to be inspired to create their own change. It’s never too early and never too late to begin—take intentional steps and embrace The Maestro Mindset to create your legacy.
The Legacy You’ll Leave
When I think about the world I’m leaving for my children, I want to believe that the planet Sofia and Leonardo will inherit will be bright with possibilities—a place still teeming with the incredible beauty of nature that has inspired me throughout my lifetime. I encourage you to take time today to determine some action-steps that will bring more earth-friendly and philanthropic practices to your life and business. The Srinarayanathas Foundation is my commitment to give back to the world around me, and I would love for you to join me!
