	It also involves recycling programs, waste management, VOC, noise pollution,
		harzadous waste,		indoor/outdoor air pollution and much more.

As you might have already tried the idea of going green and found out that it is not an easy thing to do.
	Many are concerned that green products are more expensive in price, less effective, and
		difficult to implement. People are not used to the idea and do not want to
		change the way of doing things.
	It is true in some green products, that price is slightly higher than conventional cleaning
		solutions, due to being a new product and not being produced in great quantities.
	It is also might be the case with capabilities of the cleaning solutions that certain product/s
		might be little less stronger than conventional cleaning solutions.
	It is also true that people nomally do not want to change habbits.
		Note: Most of green cleaning solutions do not add fragrance in the solutions and
		this has caused some cleaners to refuse using green cleaning solutions.
		Many people are accustomed to using cleaning solutions with some fragrance and
		cleanness is somewhat subconsciously connected to some fragrance.
		This is more than a little obstacle to overcome, but with proper education and training,
		cleaning crew can be easily converted into using green cleaning solutions.
		Let them know how they personally benefit from using green solutions.
	However, considering the benefits that comes with going green this will more than compensate
		for all the obstacles one has to go through.
