City Wide Franchise Company Joins Us Green Building Council

City Wide Goes Green

(Tuesday, August 07, 2007) - City Wide Franchise Company is accustomed to forward thinking. Its unique approach to business within the mature building maintenance industry has set City Wide apart for many of its 48 years in business. Taking a progressive approach to "green cleaning" is just another example of such forward thinking.

City Wide Franchise Company announces its membership in the US Green Building Council, a non-profit coalition of leaders from across the many facets of the US building industry working to promote ecologically responsible, cost effective, productive and healthy places to live, learn and work.

"Recently, there seems to be no end to the growing number of definitions of green cleaning," says Tom Stone, Vice President of City Wide Franchise Company. "Without a clear definition it isn't any wonder there has been growing confusion in the marketplace. It was important to join an established and reputable organization like USGBC to help City Wide be as consistent as possible to the entire topic of green cleaning."

"As market acceptance grows," continues Stone, "it is critical to become actively involved, not only with our national membership, but also at the local chapters in our 14 cities across the country."
