It Is Time For More Small Businesses and Big Corporations To Start Giving Back To The Environment

Two of the biggest problems that mankind faces today are exploitation of the environment in the name of research and development & the unequal distribution of resources among people. Both these problems are created by mankind itself. When the industrial revolution brought about globalization and opening up of economies all around the world, little did we think what would be the adverse repercussions of these developments.

Today’s industrialists and business owners seem to be largely obsessed with only the profit line. It is time we all take a look at what we have actually done for society and the environment. After all, we are all an integral part of the environment and the society.

An example of how a small organization can do its bit for the society is seen at Space Plus LLC, a woman-owned company that specializes in innovative office space solutions including sliding glass doors, workspace enclosures, partitions, conference room dividers and storage enclosures.

On August 6, 2007, Space Plus received an email from the “Make A Wish Foundation” about a boy named Hector from Indio, California. He was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure. Hector is one of 4 children. 3 of those children have life-threatening conditions. Hector shared a room with his sister and very much wanted a room of his own.

Sheryl Hai-Ami, President of Space Plus LLC met with Bonnie Rubin, a wish grantor from “Make A Wish Foundation” and within one month, Hector had a sliding glass room divider that enclosed a room just for him! The room divider goes from floor to ceiling and offers privacy when Hector needs it. The sliding panels can also open up to allow a larger open area when he prefers a more open environment.

Space Plus also sets an example for being an environment-conscious company. They use only recyclable materials that are perfect for “green” construction projects to implement their office and home space solutions.

The Space Plus LLC product line of office enclosures, privacy walls and room dividers is comprised of sliding glass panels that allow light to shine through while giving privacy behind each panel. The glass and aluminum frames are all recyclable and do not require any harsh chemicals to clean them, further enhancing a clean environment.

If each and every organization in the world, big or small, decided to do their share for society and the environment, the world would be a much better place to live.
