With the approval of new laws by the Governor of California, the state is set to experience significant shifts in electricity consumption, electric car usage, and efforts to combat environmental pollution.
Sustainable Programs for Hispanic Business Owners
Thanks to the recently implemented sustainable programs, Hispanic business owners in California now have access to a range of benefits.
The California Green Networks (GREEN)
The California Green Networks, also known as GREEN, is a comprehensive statewide program designed to educate and assist Hispanic businesses in adopting renewable and sustainable energy practices. By making environmentally-friendly changes to their operations, these businesses stand to not only save money but also contribute positively to the environment.
Saving Water and Electricity
Through the services offered by GREEN, Latin businesses have managed to save up to $20,000 per year in water and electricity consumption. This significant cost reduction is made possible by leveraging sustainable energy solutions.
Incentives through the Simplified Savings Program
Participating businesses also benefit from the Simplified Savings Program, which provides additional incentives to aid in their sustainability journey. By upgrading their lighting, heating, air conditioning, and utilizing more energy-efficient machinery, businesses can significantly reduce their electrical energy consumption.
Transitioning to Electric Vehicles
Amidst these efforts, gas-powered cars are being phased out in favor of electric vehicles. The company “Redes Verdes” leads the charge in promoting this shift, highlighting the benefits of electric cars as a means to further reduce environmental impact.
