Miami Businesses save money by going GREEN

Miami Businesses save money by going GREEN
What do real estate offices, restaurants, car washes and farms in Miami have in common with each other? They are all demonstrating an outstanding commitment to the environment. Armed with exceptional environmental solutions like T5s, LEDs, bromeliads to capture storm water, implementing closed-loop water recovery systems, composting toilets, convection ovens, sourcing organic produce, micro and jet irrigation, even making curtains out of grandpa’s ties, this set of industry leaders in Miami help their bottom line while protecting the environment.
One business reuses 15,000 gallons of water a year. Another contributes $ 240,000 to the organic industry annually. Another business saves more than $10,000 in five years due to their lighting upgrades.
In a special certification ceremony on the 22nd of March, these Miami business leaders will be recognized as certified green businesses by Thimmakka’s Resources, an environmental non-profit based out of California, and brought in by Miami Dade DERM to provide special assistance to Miami businesses.
You are invited to the ceremony, hosted by Thimmakka’s Resources and Metro1 Properties on March 22nd at 9:30 am. Come be inspired!
