Being a sustainable and environmentally conscious company is not only good for the planet, it is also a great way for companies to be more efficient, save money, and get an edge on the competition. There are many issues to consider when planning for sustainability, especially in a global environment where countries have vastly different laws as well as ecological concerns.

Discuss some environmental or sustainable practices you can adopt, or maybe you have already adopted (like carrying your own recyclable bags to the store or trying not to use disposable containers for food storage). Do you think thesepractices are worth the cost savings? Why or why not?
