Saving the Environment One Step at a Time to Make Earth Better

All of us have read about environmental warming. Some pundits insist it represents biased science. Different observers say an increase in temperatures is unfolding today. An accurate explanation may lie between these opposing viewpoints.  And naturally not everyone is likely to agree on what is an accurate explanation.


The fact that mankind's industrial activities and deforestation have hurried the process of global warming has failed to rattle some listeners out of their oblivious attitudes. Some of us get too totally engrossed by our lives to really consider just how we might — as individuals — help manage environmental change. And, yes, academics do ask that citizens should do all that can be done to cut back energy demands. The less energy society uses the less need we have to rely on hydrocarbon fuels.

There are manufacturers who have considered the global warming discussion to try environmentally safe initiatives to reach out to people and grow their revenues. As most people are aware, nearly all car manufacturers are now seeking better gas-efficient vehicle models. Residential machine designers point out the reduced energy requirements their most recent items provide in relation to earlier machines. And there are residence accessory manufacturers who are also announcing their environmental change strategies to consumers. Residential window developers fall into a growing number of companies naming energy-reduction as one of the advantages of buying their products.

There are just a few manufacturers which engage in high end window installation. Making no claims that one is preferable to the others, here is an example of a business which once worked to get the word out to customers: Penguin Windows, starting out in northwest US, offered custom replacement windows direct to consumers for over twenty-five years. During the course of 2009 Penguin Windows advertised its energy-saving value proposition with a special twenty-fifth anniversary sweepstakes. Referencing reliable consumer satisfaction survey results, Penguin Windows asked their salespeople to let people know how energy-inefficient windows may be costing money.

Of course, because consumers have several other custom window manufacturers to browse, homeowners are savvy to interview multiple companies and seek the best possible payment from all. A vendor like Penguin Windows doesn't have to be the provider for your window replacement options. Be sure to do the research before you sign a contract.

Saving money will always be important. Remember that we are important for American economics. Still in our roles as individuals we have to plan for our future. By holding the means for our later years we are being careful. Through saving our resources we also help the climate -- which suggests we are being smart.

Penguin Windows has since gone out of business but I thought their story made an interesting example of how businesses could help communities fight global warming.
