Here are some interesting things I learned this week. The cleaning industry produces 6 billion pounds of chemicals every year, 4.5 billion pounds of paper (much of which I used yesterday, see my blog), and 1 billion pounds of equipment. None of it is re-usable. Once we put the bowl cleaner in the bowl, those chemicals are gone forever, vacuums are thrown into the landfills, and the paper well... you know about the paper. Our 3,000 franchise owners use a lot of chemicals, vacuums, paper, etc.
Today our company embarked on a full scale new initiative, Green Cleaning. I am proud to be a part of it because it means we will meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Someone said, "we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children." That's called sustainability. We are committed to converting existing customers to Green Cleaning, and finding new ones to come on board with us.
