In addition to using several earth-friendly commercial cleaning products, Morenberg and her team mix up many of their own cleansers inspired by tried-and-true recipes containing vinegar, baking soda, borax, castile soap, essential oils of geranium, cinnamon, lemon, lavender, and tea tree, and several other common, natural aromatherapy and sanitizing ingredients.

In addition to standard maid and cleaning services Ms. Green-Clean offers deep-down Spring cleanings, moving-in and -out cleanings, pre- and post-party cleanings, purging and organizing assistance, and home eco-consultations.

With a degree in Botany and a fertile work history including environmental organizations such as the Wildlife Conservation Society, The New York Botanical Garden and Greenpeace, it was a natural transition for eco-conscious Morenberg to plant and grow this leafy, green business.

“And with global warming, species and habitat loss, pollution, and other environmental problems becoming so critical, it was a no-brainer,” says Morenberg. “I really wanted to do something to make a difference and I think starting small and close to home is important. It empowers people to know they can make changes, and hopefully their positive actions snowball into wider arenas. I’ve always believed the sixties’ phrase that ‘the personal is political.'”

NYKB is forging business relationships with companies, like Caesarstone, who are dedicated to an eco-friendly business practice. Another company NYKB salutes is the custom supplier QuakerMaid Cabinetry. All of the QuakerMaid board that NYKB installs is California 2009 compliant and its exotic veneers are either plantation grown or bamboo. No exceptions. Sales teams at NYKB are making pointed efforts to disclose the environmental benefits of these and other earth-friendly products on sales calls. To date, the customer base has been overwhelmingly receptive.

A good, eco-friendly business should be aware of environmental impact its products have. Bamboo, a versatile and handsome wood, is a raw material being used more frequently by NYKB these days. Bamboo is an easily renewable resource, a wonderful material for the green minded consumer to incorporate in the kitchen. Not only is it the fastest growing plant in the world, but it flourishes naturally and requires no extra water, energy, or fertilizer for sustainable harvesting. NYKB designer, Geoffrey Belle, is a big fan of bamboo. Said Belle, “Most people like bamboo because it looks great, but more and more people are using it because it’s eco-friendly, which is a great thing. And it’s durable, too.”

“There’s a huge opportunity out there and Ontario is determined to seize it for our people and our economy,” McGuinty said.

“With the world looking for innovative ways to conserve energy and fight global warming, some place is going to secure thousands of jobs by researching and developing new solutions, and we want that place to be Ontario.”

Premier McGuinty unveiled the Next Generation Jobs Fund, which will make $650 million available to companies looking to invest in the development of clean cars, clean fuels, and clean technologies and products here in Ontario.

To bid for financial support from the fund, companies will have to demonstrate they can:

• Secure good jobs for Ontarians
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Help establish Ontario as a global leader in an emerging market
• Build on existing expertise in areas in which Ontario has a strong research and commercial base or create new expertise, and
• Create synergies among researchers, business people and entrepreneurs.

The fund will be modeled after the successful $500 million Ontario Automotive Strategy which has helped to leverage more than $7 billion in total new auto investments in the province over the past four years.

“The approach is tried and true: we know we can attract investment and create and keep good full-time jobs by working with companies that are looking for the most aggressive and innovative places in North America,” McGuinty said.

“What’s new is designing a fund specifically to develop and manufacture green technologies and products across all sectors. There are people out there who claim you have to choose between a strong economy and a clean environment. We understand that, in today’s world, to grow your economy you must green your economy.”

“The ability to innovate is key to Ontario’s economic prosperity,” said Sandra Pupatello, Minister of Economic Development and Trade. “The McGuinty government is committed to helping the province’s industries make high-quality, environmentally-sensitive products for their customers and the next generation of highly skilled jobs for their employees.”

“What’s good for business must also be good for the environment,” said Bill White, President of DuPont Canada. “DuPont’s Research and Development Centre demonstrates how businesses offer quality jobs in the development of new green technology – such as biofuels and polymers made with corn and other renewable resources – that lead to quality jobs with our Canadian and global manufacturing customers.”

“We see the government’s challenge of developing even more leading-edge, efficient and low emission vehicles as a great opportunity for our industry,” said Arturo Elias, President of GM Canada. “This is the kind of positive partnership that can accelerate green vehicle technologies while also helping to ensure we remain at the forefront of competitive jurisdictions to invest, employ and grow for the future.”

“We have industries that are among the most productive and innovative in the world, scientists who are among the best and brightest and workers who have the best skills and knowledge on the continent,” said Premier McGuinty. “The world is looking for solutions. Ontario has the people and the know-how to deliver them. And this fund will help make it happen, creating jobs and investment.”
