Businesses of all shapes and sizes are making an effort to reduce their negative environmental impact by going green. Here's why going green can be great for your business. Business leaders are always looking for ways to reduce overhead costs and save money. Adopting environmentally friendly practices in the day-to-day activities of your business is one way to cut costs without making drastic changes. For example, consider installing energy- efficient LED light bulbs to save on your energy bill, or upgrade to an electronic filing system to reduce paper waste. Many businesses have started using recycled or biodegradable materials in their packaging to cut costs and practice sustainability. Making gradual changes can add up to a significant positive impact over time for both the environment and your bottom line. More and more customers are embracing the green movement and choosing to support companies with environmentally responsible products, services, and business practices. By implementing eco-friendly practices, your business may be able to attract more customers and boost sales. Practicing sustainability can also increase loyalty within your existing customer base. Shifting to environmentally-friendly practices can be a powerful way to keep existing customers interested in your brand and encourage them to refer your products or services to others. The next generation of workers, including Millennials and Gen Z-ers, place a high value on environmental sustainability.

A study of 1,000 five to 18 year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and how they met the love of their life. More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did before retirement - admitting they'd never thought to ask. Sadly, one in 10 admitted they are simply not interested in their grandmother's Mã đề 108 Page 3/4
4. or granddad's previous job or talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money. But 23 per cent claim the reason they don't know anything about their older relatives is because they don't really get the chance to talk properly. Geoff Bates, spokesman for McCarthy & Stone's Inspirational Generation campaign, said: “We know this generation have lived full lives with heroic tales to tell and so much to offer, but how many of us have actually thought to ask these questions of our older family members? We want to shout about the amazing feats retirees have achieved in their lifetime and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of today's older people. We are calling on parents and children to talk to their grandparents, to find out what they have done in their lives - and continue to do, and tell us all about it so we can give them the credit they deserve.” Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to. And while 39 per cent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week - 16 per cent once a day - conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past. Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 per cent don't know if they have any special skills or talents. And 42 per cent don't spend any time talking about their grandparent's history -and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother or granddad was like when they were younger. Perhaps due to this lack of communication and respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and inspiration. However, grandchildren are agreed their grandparents are both loving and friendly, while 43 per cent think they're funny - with 23 per cent admitting they often have more fun with their elderly relatives than their parents.

Grandparents are not interested in telling stories about their life in the past any more. C. Young people now do not concern much about their grandparents. D.
