Did you know that going green doesn’t only apply to the way you live your life in your home, but also how you run your business? It isn’t a secret anymore that our planet needs our attention. With global warming, the depletion of our rain forests and water drought, it is time we band together to do our part to contribute to being “GREEN”.
You may ask yourself how is hiring VCS – More Time for YOU being GREEN and environmentally friendly? The first and most obvious answer that comes to mind is that we work primarily from our own home office, which means that there is one less car driving on our roads.
Did you know that 25% of our CO² emissions is from driving in our cars, and 88% of those commuting do it alone!
