EcoBizNYC: Free sustainability workshops for small biz
Nov 30th, 2008 by Jervey
There’s a ton of potential for small bizzes to save themselves boatloads of cash through some pretty simple and cheap actions around NYC. It sounds like this EcoBizNYC initiative of the Lower East Side Ecology Center is going to show how it’s done. They’ve got a Weathering for the Winter workshop–first of many, I’m guessing–coming up.
Full description after the hop.
EcoBizNYC: Sustainable Business Workshops
A new program of the Lower East Side Ecology Center, EcoBizNYC’s mission is to help small businesses, students, and the general public to actively reduce air pollution, carbon emissions and airborne environmental health hazards in NYC through environmental auditing, education, and action.
EcoBizNYC’s initiatives will provide small businesses with resources on how to reduce their overall emissions, negative impacts on community health, and to increase their community support, while saving money and increasing their community involvement.

Weathering For The Winter–Insulation and Your Business’s Energy Conservation
Thursday, December 11 from 10-11:30 am
Sustainable NYC, 139 Avenue A between 8th & 9th
Attend this workshop and learn how you can cut your business’s costs and save energy. Adding more insulation is the single most cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A typical pound of insulation saves twelve times as much energy in its first year in place as the energy used to produce it. By reducing the energy needed to heat and your building, insulation avoids carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global climate change. In this workshop you and your employees will learn about different types of insulation and their benefits. Experts in energy conservation will provide you with easy instructions on how to install key money and energy saving weathering techniques. You will also be provided with a guide on where you can procure insulation devices. Registration is recommended.
Registration is suggested for these events. For more information or to register, please call 212-477-4022 or e-mail Info@LESEcologyCenter.org
