How you ring up a sale can be the start of turning green

Your company can go green by doing nothing more complicated than doing business with a new breed of merchant credit card companies.
Like standard merchant service providers, green merchant companies help small businesses set up accounts with banks so they can take credit cards for payment of goods and services.
But these new green merchant companies donate a percentage of their sales or profits to green causes. So, by working with a green merchant service company, your organization becomes greener than you were yesterday by giving a portion of your business to a green company.
For example, Dharma Merchant Services just won Green America’s Green Leadership award during this year’s Green Business Conference in San Francisco.
Dharma donates 10% of its processing profits to a charity of your choice. Like most attending this year’s conference, Dharma is a certified green business, practicing sustainable business methods and concentrating on doing business with other like-minded companies.
And, Dharma, like other green merchant service providers, offers competitive prices, so making a switch to a green service provider can also trim your company’s operating expenses.
You can find other green credit card service providers by contacting the Green Merchant Alliance or searching Green America’s National Green Pages.
