Make a Difference

It is difficult to pick up a newspaper or magazine today without noticing that the world is going green.  With the rising costs of material and energy, and the water crisis, there is a clear movement among all types of organizations to reduce their environmental impact. In fact, with all this publicity “going green” has now become a household phrase.
At Shamrock, we believe that sustainability makes both environmental and financial sense.  That’s why we offer solutions to support our customers’ sustainability goals and improve the health of both indoor and outdoor environments.   Small changes can make a BIG difference.  Check out these simple green living tipsthat can help you make a difference at home and at work.

Green Living Tips:

  • Heat and cool your house only when needed by using a programmable thermostat
  • Run the dishwasher only when you have a full load
  • Reduce your water consumption by taking short showers instead of baths, since it takes more energy to heat water for baths
  • Use energy-efficient lighting throughout your home with LED bulbs that are 10 times more efficient than fluorescent lighting.
  • Upgrade your current air conditioning system to an Energy Star™ rated unit
  • Install solar screens on exterior windows
  • Choose green cleaning supplies to reduce harmful, toxic chemicals in the indoor environment
  • Purchase organically grown foods which do not use harmful pesticides that negatively affect health and pollute the environment.
  • Bring your own bag to the grocery store rather than using plastic bags, which are not biodegradable
  • Do not let warm or cool air leak outside to reduce energy consumption.
  • Reduce, reuse, and recycle waste whenever possible.
