Editor's Notes
- We see our role to manage the relationship between people, our built environment and that of our natural world. I’ve been asked to talk to you today a little bit about how we’ve done this and hopefully give you some ideas about how you can too. We are lucky to support lots of businesses in many different environments to enable us to share lots of ideas, innovations and strategies to support change..

- What we are talking about here in terms of strategy is a shift in behaviour, a shift in mindset. If together we brought with us today all the waste we had created in the last month and poured it into the middle of this space, we are likely to seriously reconsider the choices we make aren’t we? I think so. We need a big enough why We are so engrained in our habits and learned behaviours that very often change is extremely difficult. Easier to throw in the bin, or to recycle and not attempt to reuse, oh well, ill just buy another. Out of sight, out of mind. We need a big enough reason to change our behaviour.
- By implementing a green cleaning program, you will experience improved: Indoor air quality Slow the spread of illness Reduce the chances for exposure to toxic chemicals. By employing safer green procedures, less chemical residue is left on surfaces to promote the spread of germs and there are fewer air borne particles released that contaminate the air.

- Green cleaning programs can actually remove more dirt if implemented and performed properly. Mainly by utilising microfibre cleaning tools, green cleaning allows surfaces to be cleaned much more effectively. This improves the cleaning results as well as the appearance.
- Many traditional methods of cleaning, over time, actually damage the surfaces they are meant to maintain. Toxins and abrasives may remove soils but also cause long term and even permanent damage to items that can be costly to repair or replace. By reducing or eliminating harmful practices, and focusing on maintenance, the surfaces will last much longer.
- Green practices are much more efficient. Accomplishing more, with less is really at the heart of it. By directing effort toward better results, you are able to achieve a cleaner, healthier facility, in less time. This is done again by employing techniques that eliminate the use of wasteful and counter-productive cleaning products that in many cases can cause surfaces to be more difficult to clean by leaving chemical residue behind.
- By being able to perform tasks more effectively, with less risk to yourself and the facility and actually see the positive results from your efforts, the morale of the staff will be improved. No one likes to do a bad job and given the know how to do a good job only makes performing the task more rewarding.
