As St Patrick’s Day rolls around, you may have plans to celebrate with a few pints at the pub, however, instead of turning yourself Guinness ‘green’ this year, you may like to also consider an alternative ‘green’ approach - the White Pages® have.

At the White Pages®, all print and online directories have both been certified carbon neutral by the Australian Government Greenhouse Friendly™ Program. This has been achieved by offsetting the carbon emissions of these directories through Greenhouse Friendly™ accredited providers and projects in Australia.

With a little help from White Pages^® you can go green this St Patrick’s Day by making a few adjustments that will not only improve the ecosystem, but will also save you a few dollars along the way.

At home, consider which light bulbs to install, what water-saving shower head will work best, and how to best re-use and recycle.

Or if you run a small business, Sensis (producers of White Pages^®) have published the Sustainable Growth book, to provide in-depth insight into what changes can be incorporated to become more sustainable.

The book will help you introduce better recycling and waste management practices into the workplace, make better energy consumption choices and evaluate your water usage. These simple changes can result in some big savings, while also reducing your carbon footprint.

Simply visit http://www.about.sensis.com.au/Small-Business/Free-Sustainable-Growth-book/ to find out more about how you can help the environment, and to order a copy of the Sustainable Growth book.

So, this St Patrick’s Day, celebrate going ‘green’ the environmentally-friendly way.
