Question: Companies of all types have embraced the challenges of operating within the limits of the Earth's natural systems. Many have recognized the cost savings associated with operating more efficiently, the opportunities to serve consumer markets in emerging economies, the benefits of reducing regulatory risk, and the competitive advantages of innovation in sustainable technology. For example, in 2014, Hertz, the rental car company, introduced an innovative method of car washing at 3,700 locations in Europe and the United States that used no water at all. Instead of hosing down each vehicle, employees sprayed it with eight ounces of a concentrated, biodegradable cleaning solution and wiped it down with a microfiber towel. The process saved 130 million gallons of water a year, as well as the energy needed to heat it.
