Corporate responsibility and the many questions which burden business in 2012 may not be 'new', however, the solutions are going to have to be 'new'. What might we be asked today? Are we, aren't we in recession? ...In negative growth? ...In positive projection? Who knows and who can say with certainty?
In the 2012 world of economic uncertainty, all businesses are looking for ways to attract more customers, increase profits and cut unnecessary expenses.
We were live online yesterday as our CEO, George Burnes, was interviewed by The Organic View. If you didn’t catch it, or don’t have time to listen to the recording online, here’s a snapshot of some of the most interesting points covered by the show.
Energy efficiency is something we can no longer ignore, due to soaring energy prices and global climate change. Energy efficiency offers a clear path away from these converging forces. Becoming more energy efficient does not mean reducing the quality of products or services using energy, but rather becoming more intelligent in how energy is used.
Hello Energy Efficient Friends!
Just a quick note to let you know that June Stoyer from The Organic View will be interviewing Smartcool System's President & CEO, George Burnes (gracing us with his picture here) on Monday, Sept 12, 2011! They will be discussing energy efficiency and why energy conservation is a critical component concerning how we grow our food!
You can listen to the interview at 4:00 pm EST on the Organic View's internet radio station located here.
We hope you enjoy it!
Not sure if you’ve heard, but it’s summer here in Vancouver. By “summer”, I mean ‘it’s-been-mostly-terrible-weather-but-after-two-months-of-rain-and-cloud-we’re-finally-seeing-the-sun’. We’re not bitter…I swear. Ok, that’s a lie. We’re totally bitter about it. But, it’s out of our control, West-Coasters, so get out and enjoy the sun while it deigns to show its face! The bitterness comes from watching summer happen all over the rest of our continent. They have been experiencing some very warm (ok, very HOT) weather. However, while we West-Coasters may have want for a little more heat, we also know that a lot more heat can indeed be dangerous. Safety first, people.
A short while ago we discussed the European Union’s Energy Efficiency Plan and its goal to achieve a 20% improvement in its energy savings by the year 2020. Click here for a refresher on that. Basically, we found out that the initially instituted plan wasn’t totally working out as the European Commission had hoped, so they did some quick figuring and implemented another plan which would get everyone back on track. Handshakes and back-pats all around.
Back in 2006, the European Union realized that they were facing some serious energy challenges. These challenges were due to an increase in import dependency, global fossil fuel supplies, a “…clearly discernable climate change”, and a substantial waste of 20% of its energy due to inefficiencies.
Say what now? “A substantial waste of 20% of its energy due to inefficiencies”? Oh. Ok, we’ll be revisiting that shortly…
