Start An Eco-Friendly Tanning Salon Beginning With Your Tanning BedsBy Christine OKelly Tanning beds and salons are not known for being the most earth friendly, but many salon owners are looking to change that by going eco-friendly for profit. While a new tanning bed for sale will still use electricity and need the conveniences and accessories of old tanning beds, you can change the products to make up for this and still be environmentally friendly. The following paragraphs show how your salon can go green in many different ways. Your Utilities A tanning bed for sale can be hard on your utilities. Consider solar panels to generate power to ease the use of electricity. You probably won't be able to generate enough power to become completely independent, but you can lessen your utility bill and the amount of electricity you use. Remove traditional water heaters and consider tankless models that only heat the water you use. Eco-friendly, low flow toilets and automatic sensors can also help make your utilities green. Products And Accessories You can reduce the effect of your tanning bed for sale by selecting the products and accessories you offer at your salon wisely. The distance required for shipping and the amount of wasteful packing supplies are two things to be on the lookout for. Choose organic products and other accessories made by eco-friendly manufacturers that are both high quality and good for you, your customers, and the environment. Consider the packaging of a product or accessory and the materials used in packaging. Do your best to eliminate as many disposable products as you can and offer customer incentives for becoming green, such as bringing in their empty lotion bottles for recycling or refilling. Design And Decor In addition to using efficient tanning beds, you can have a huge impact on the earth, even through the actual construction of your salon. Consider concrete flooring as an alternative to carpet in warm areas because they keep a building cooler and will reduce the amount of air conditioning you need. Choose well sealed windows and doors for your salon and look for an energy efficient tanning bed for sale. In addition, select energy saving light bulbs and other energy efficient materials whenever possible. Decorate your salon with natural products and don't be afraid to head out to the local second hand store for recycled decoration. Recycle old garden gates to add a homey and relaxing feel to your salon. If a tanning bed for sale makes you think tropical, consider bamboo flooring or bamboo wall treatments and decorate with eco-friendly sea grass and seashells. If you plan to go from tanning bed for sale to eco-friendly salon, shop wisely. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money for energy efficient tanning beds and a green salon. Start with one item at a time and slowly work your way toward becoming an entirely environmentally friendly salon. Shop around and compare prices on tanning beds, lotions, accessories, building materials, and more. By including green ideas in your salon, you will gain the respect of your customers who will reward you with plenty of green.
