HistoryPreserving our environment is a critical issue for today and especially tomorrow and nobody has more power to have a positive influence on our planet than businesses and organizations. Think about it... every day millions of people wake up at home and go to work and spend roughly eight hours going about their business. Imagine what would happen if each of those businesses delivered their products or services in a way that was sustainable and a benefit to our surroundings rather than depleting precious resources such as air, water and energy? What if more companies offered telecommuting, recycling, and sourced eco-friendly products? Not only would the cumulative impact be so much better for the planet, but the influence of the green ideology would then flow into each of the company's employees encouraging them to maintain these practices once they get home as well. This is the part of the solution that the EcoChamber is dedicated to promoting and encouraging.SpecialtiesFounded in 2008, the EcoChamber (www.ecochamber.com) is the first and only global green chamber of commerce.
