Earth Day, which was April 22, is a reminder for businesses to incorporate “green” values in their company. This not only helps the environment, it saves money.

Here are a few ideas to incorporate and places to find more information:

1. Reuse, reduce, and recycle office products. Learn more from EarthDay.gov.
2. Explore alternative energy investments that can produce big tax breaks, such as a 30% federal tax credit for solar, fuel cells, and small wind energy property.
3. Find grants and other incentives available to help you make energy-saving investments. The U.S. Department of Energy provides information and links to financing solutions and incentives.
