May Welcome Message

Steve Ashkin

Welcome to DestinationGreen.

We've been gripped by an unusual spring Green Cleaning fever this month at The Ashkin Group and you can read the results throughout the May edition of DestinationGreen.

First, we present the last in our series of Green Selling Tips focused exclusively on Green Cleaning products by evaluating green vs. traditional degreasers and drain cleaners.

Another headline likely to leap off the screen at you is a ground breaking report on the financial benefits of green schools immediately followed by a news article that green schools improve learning and help retain teachers. This is information you definitely want to share with your customers!

Other highlights this month include:

  • New alarm bells sounded by researchers about the growing quantity of chemicals within all our bodies and the severe dearth of research about how this chemical cocktail may impact human health
  • Hewlett-Packard's computer recycling program
  • A green financial group that confirms businesses that are not working hard to reduce the levels of toxic chemicals used to manufacture their products are probably poor choices for financial investment

Finally, I invite you to examine the third edition of our new monthly newsletter, “ManagingGreen,” because the May issue is jam-packed with green building management news and expert facility management tips. Simply put, ManagingGreen the "why and how" of the Green Cleaning product and services you recommend to your customers. You can see the current issue by clicking HERE.

We welcome your emails to us about this new publication and hope you will recommend it to all your customers.

All the best and happy selling!
