Minnecis Ristorante, 2008

the 1970's-Most had not been maintained
» HVAC systems from the 1980's

Energy Savings Made Easy | 2017 Business Symposium

This Got Me Thinking...
Energy Savings Made Easy | 2017 Business Symposium
Millennials Are Not Who You Think They Are.
» Millennials will spend 15-20% more for Green/Organic products
» They are 5 times more likely to be loyal to a Green business
» They are the most health conscious generation in American history
» They value principles and morality over money
» They are now the largest demographic in the country and their buying
power is increasing every day
Energy Savings Made Easy | 2017 Business Symposium
How Can I Tap Into This...
» The concept will have to be something environmentally friendly
» Its culture will have to be principled
» It will have to be fast, affordable and healthy
» So what idea could embody all of these characteristics?
Going Green is Inevitable...
Energy Savings Made Easy | 2017 Business Symposium
Now I Know Better...

Energy Savings Made Easy | 2017 Business Symposium
Now I Know Better...
Its Just Smart Business
» Millennials and future generations will only
support low-impact businesses. They will
spend more and be more loyal to green
businesses.
» ROI on your up front costs will happen
incredibly fast.
» Conscientious capitalism is the best form
of advertising to younger generations.
» Ameren Illinois is an invaluable partner in
making this a realty for you.

Going Green, Grows Green
The best part of this program is that Ameren Illinois has done all the
heavy lifting. They have the research, the resources, the connections
and the desire to help. They have taken on the responsibilties of energy
savings that businesses simply don't have time for, but wish they did.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of this great program and
together we can have a Greener future... in every sense of the word.
Thank You.
