Description

businessgreen.com

BusinessGreen is "a multimedia publication for firms intent on improving their environmental credentials." Very comprehensive, with text, audio and video material, Business Green gives a good overview of market-place events and players.

ecosys.org.uk

Brighton-based Ecosys operate the government-funded BETRE scheme which provides free support and advice to small and medium-sized businesses on cutting costs through reducing waste, water and energy consumption.

carbontrust.co.uk

A great site detailing many practical things you can do to save money and cut your emissions. You can read stuff online and download documents – like a free guide on “How to monitor your energy use”. It also has information on interest free loans for new equipment.

walkit.com

When visiting London, walking may be a surprisingly good way to get around – saving, time, money and helping keep you fit. This site let’s you enter a start point and destination. It gives directions, says how many calories you will burn, and, even, how much CO2 you avoided releasing.

businesslink.gov.uk 

This website covers pretty much every aspect of growing a small business. It’s government-funded so has plenty of information on legislation and how it affects you. It also has a good section on “Environment & efficiency” including practical steps on innovation and how to offer sustainable goods and services.
