Today's economy is rapidly changing as our community focuses more and more on environmental sustainability. Is your business ready to transition to this new economy? The Cornwall Carbon Reduction Initiative's new project, EcoBusiness, can provide guidance as you undertake this exciting challenge. As a participant in EcoBusiness, you will have access to self-evaluation tools, environmental facts and advice, and project ideas and guidelines to integrate environmentally sustainable practices into your business operations.
Involvement in this free project is open to all local businesses in the SD&G area. The efforts of participating businesses will be promoted throughout the rest of the community as the CCRI celebrates your success.
If you would like to participate in this community-oriented project, please call CCRI to confirm your participation at 613.932.2088 or email angie@cornwallcarbonreduction.ca. We will then arrange a meeting to discuss some of the next steps moving forward in this project.
