Sustainable business practices refers to business ventures that do not damage the natural resources so that the activities of such businesses leave the resources intact to be used by the generations that will come after the current generation is gone. This paper elaborates on such businesses and the reason why we need to adopt such ventures. According to Sullivan (2007) a sustainable economic activity does not cause harm to the environment and people because it does not include any solid substances in its products and services, unlike other activities that require raw materials which are processed to make the final product which results in a lot of environmental degradation. Sustainable economic activities integrate elements of sustainability in every step of making decisions. Secondly, they introduce green products and services with the aim of facing out non-green products and services. Organizations that participate in green activities still make their intended proceeds. The above practices have been adopted because man has realized that if he continues polluting the environment, the earth would eventually become inhabitable because some of the waste that is derived from industrial processes damage the ozone layer which means that the rays of the sun will land on humans and other living creatures directly, and in the final end man and other living beings will die. It is also important to note that if human economic activities are not regulated the very few natural resources that are left will diminish because people are not doing anything to replace the resources they have used so far. That’s why governments are regulating the felling of trees. Initially people were encouraged to plant at least two trees for every tree that was cut down but since most business people don’t bother to conserve the natural resources, governments have decided to monitor the use of natural resources (Anderson, 2006). According to Rennie (2008), there are quite a number of organizations that have commendable contributions towards paperless operations. For instance Google introduced electronic books to ensure that learning materials should not be necessarily be made from papers. This means trees should not be cut down because writing materials are manufactured from trees and thus trees should now be left to serve their intended purposes because an alternative has been found. If more nations embrace this technology, the culture of cutting down trees for industrial purposes will come to an end. In fact more people are supporting electronic books because they don’t get damaged like books made from papers and the students can use them at their convenience without having to carry bulky bags of books. Besides, green house gases contribute to global warming which does not allow the earth to retain warmth from the sun. If humans continue to use raw materials the deposits of those materials will become exhausted in future and hence the successive generations will find it difficult to manufacture goods and services due to lack of natural resources. Sustainable business practices include waste management programs which ensure that the environment is not polluted. This can be do
