Green Certification gives local grocer an Eco-Advantage worth celebrating

How one local grocery retailer went about instituting 'Green' practices to lower overhead costs while allowing Foodsmiths to demonstrate environmental leadership at the corporate level.

PERTH, ON --- February 16, 2009:  "For many, 'Going Green' means ensuring their paper, glass and plastic are sorted and that the blue box is placed at the curb on garbage day, however, for business owners seeking an operational edge  'Going Green' is far more complex; although, it can be a source of significant cost savings if approached and handled correctly"explains Perth, Ontario's Foodsmiths grocery store owner Don Smith; who this coming Saturday (February 20th, 2010) at 9am will celebrate earning their Green Business Accreditation at a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Mayor John Fenik at Foodsmiths' location 106 Wilson Street W.    

"Earning Green Business Accreditation is proof-positive that the entire Foodsmiths team is committed to making an ecological difference. Initiatives like those which we have instituted at the retail level  demonstrate that environmental stewardship is not only a good move ecologically, but good for business as well" states Smith.
