    A comment on Conversation: What are some sustainable business practices one could implement which would be fiscally responsible or provide positive monetary value?

    Nov 11 2011: Sorry guys, I should've clarified. Sam's Club has sponsored my SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) project for implementing sustainable business practices with a local small business. I am planning on switching from incandescent to LED lighting as well as building compost bins for the business so that they may use the soil from this to grow their own herbs, spices, etc. as well as cut down on the waste they produce. Employee training to reduce their impact on the environment, and that is as far as I've gotten. I was hoping the "Ted community" could help me with more ingenuitive ideas :) Thanks again guys!
