By idiso Wycks Just in. cas there was every any- doubt about the leaderhsip roIs of sinall business on the enviroamental front, a report -recently released Iby the, Canadien Federýaioex ý cf >Independent Business concludes that small busineuspe1i are not only environmnentalyconedousbut thoyre doing something about it as well. Tereport outines that as a result of the deep concern expressed about the state of the enviromnent, the small business cornmumity has responded by devloping and , implementing new 'envfronmentally-sensitive practices. Entitled "The Green Grasssroot&e Small Bueiness and the Environment," the report is based on the results of 2,300' small business survey responses from every region of the country. Almoet without exception, small fims expressed concern - 99 per cent - about the general st"te of the planet. According te Ted Mallett, senior econorist for CFIB, while' showing concern for environ- mental cauSes is significant, translating that concern into action is dotibly important. "Tis suatrvey shows that tho poitve attitudes of small business owners have taken root," Mainstream Canada Malett says. "We found that the development and implementatioei of new environmentally-sensitive technologies and, operating techniques have already been undertaken by most sinai firms. In fact, 60 per cent of, al small firme have made,' or are about to make, significant changes to their businesses in an effort to responïd to the environment." Mallett adds' that the views of sma]l buisness owners -on their progress toward botter environmental understanding are. not to ho underestimnated as wag)rs to identify the, priorities oôr govrnmntinivolvement, and p nithe most appropriate It is equally important, however, to consider the views of employees in the environmental debate because they are often responsible for, most of- the day-to-day business decisions. For this reason, Mallett points to a previous CFlB survey which examined job satisfaction and workplace structures. This survey found that high levèes of trust and understanding between emplcoyees and employers are far more common in small businesses than in larger ones. SEmployees of small firms tond to have higher morale and are more satisfied with the oponness of ,management coenpared ,,to.,thoee in lre bêtween .upper, management, and employees can ho limited. Its no surprise thon to find from the survoy that workers in small busipxesses are more satisfied with their. employers' treatment of the environment, compaied te workers iii large firms. '"Workers in amali operations have a much easier'time bringing environinental concerns te tthe attention of business owners and, therefore. ,a greater ability te affect change," Mailett sdaid.. While nearly everyone is in agreement that ongoing, changes on' the environment front are necessary,, there are still. many, lingering questions as te how we can best go about protecting this precious" resource for future generations. But just what stops should be taken, and, how,' are, the real questions.- -.'--r the next hsament, weMl examine what responsible and* realistic alternatives are available te ail playersn order te achieve this end More basic ** ~ m -u -~ ~ eru1ce5 ar iiorary THE REGOPORNALOTOWN F THE, nr FOM PAGE 4 CV sAII-IITIlV «squeezer into a MUNUCIPAUTY 0F DURHAM of__ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ Informiation.
