Success Stories

"The sustainability planning process pulled together the aspects of doing the right thing, saving money, and marketing opportunities.  We expect to save money by decreasing water use by 50% and energy use by 15% in the next year.  We also discovered that our recycled antifreeze generates only 20% of the greenhouse gases generated by virgin antifreeze, which creates a marketing opportunity to companies where being green is important.  We found that Zbig was no nonsense, organized, and understood how to take us through the planning process, which is what you hope a consultant will bring to the table."
