<p>When asked why they chose GBB? “ we chose GBB because their initiatives were simple everyday things that we could easily implement into our procedures. We felt motivated to make changes immediately&#8221;</p>
<p>Windsor Building Services believes that anything that minimize their carbon footprint is beneficial. They are mindful that every single product and cleaning tool used has an impact on the environment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Reaching the Gold level was easier than we thought it would be. We are now striving to reach the Platinum level and that will entail some hard work. Implementing these new measures is not just for our company’s sake, we would like to see our employees applying these measures in their own lives. The number of plastic bottles and paper we consume on a daily basis is unbelievable – everyone should be doing their part to reuse and recycle. After all, don’t we want a clean environment for our children and grandchildren?”, Windsor Building Services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pmservicescompany.net/">PM Services Company</a> is a small business with big business experience and capabilities and a sterling reputation for high quality facilities support services. Since the beginning in 1986, PM Services has provided <a href="http://www.pmservicescompany.net/rec_contracts.cfm">outstanding facilities support services</a> by listening to customers and consistently exceeding their expectations. The PM Services Company team has received numerous accolades for response to emergency situations, ability to help clients save money by recommending and implementing improvements to their building operations and for the continuous, outstanding service and “can-do” attitude of its personnel. In 2008, PM Services became the government’s “go to” contractor to step into contract sites where the incumbent contractor was under performing.</p>
<p>Green Business Bureau is proud to have PM Services as a member since 2010. PM Services has achieved Gold Tier of Green Business Certification.  Some examples of what they are doing on the sustainability path include:</p>
<p>1) Take out paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass and plastic to recycling center weekly.</p>
<p>2) Install LED Lights</p>
<p>3) Install programmable thermostats to reduce heat and AC</p>
<p>4) Install motion sensors in bathrooms and most office areas</p>
<p>5) Put tankless hot water heater in the conference room.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Earth Day Idea: Go Green In Your Job Search</strong></p>
<p><em>Celebrate Earth Day by incorporating environmentally-friendly options such as telecommuting and flexible schedules in your job search. In celebration of Earth Day, FlexJobs is offering exceptional savings of up to 67% so that more people go green in the job search.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Boulder, CO, April 18 –</strong> In honor of Earth Day, FlexJobs, the green-certified, award-winning job site for <a href="http://www.flexjobs.com/jobs/new" target="_blank">telecommuting and jobs with flexibility</a>, will donate one tree for every FlexJobs subscription purchased on April 20, 21 and 22 to The Nature Conservancy&#8217;s Plant a Billion project.  Also, FlexJobs will be offering exceptional savings of up to 67% so that more people go green in the job search (use promo code “EARTH”).</p>
<p>“Telecommuting and flexible work schedules reduce commuter congestion, save on gas and help to reduce the release of greenhouse gases. The more job seekers we can encourage to seek out environmentally-responsible jobs, the better,” Sara Sutton Fell, CEO of FlexJobs stated. “Additionally, whenever gas prices increase, as they have recently, telecommuting and flexible work become an even more desirable work benefit for job-seekers.”<br />
FlexJobs is changing the employment landscape by bringing legitimate flexible jobs &#8212; and the work-life, economic, and environmental benefits they offer &#8212; to the people who want them in a safe and easy way. With job listings in over 50 career categories – including an <a href="http://www.flexjobs.com/jobs/environmental" target="_blank">Environmental &amp; Green Jobs</a> category – and with job types ranging from entry-level to executive, freelance to full-time, there are many more job opportunities with telecommuting and flexibility than most people imagine.</p>
<div>
<p> And FlexJobs dedication to the environment goes further;  FlexJobs was recently awarded the highest-possible Platinum Status certification by the Green Business Bureau as a result of its Corporate Environmental Sustainability Vision.  “FlexJobs is proud to be a green-certified carbon balanced company,” Fell said. “Each of our employees makes a commitment to implement sustainable working habits and we hope to draw awareness to the green benefits of working flexibly, especially during Earth Day, to help encourage others to do the same.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> To learn more tips on how to make your job and job search more environmentally friendly, read Sutton Fell’s recent article on <a href="http://www.workingmother.com/workplace/10-ways-green-your-workday" target="_blank">10 Ways to Green Your Workday</a> or visit <a href="http://www.flexjobs.com/" target="_blank">www.flexjobs.com</a>.  The special Earth Day Savings of up to 67% off will be offered on April 20, 21, and 22 (use promo code “EARTH”).</p>
