Health Enhancement Systems Wellness Program Teaches Earth-Friendly Health Choices

MIDLAND, Mich., Feb. 11 / -- With Earth Day approaching, many employers are looking for ways to go green. By implementing Health Enhancement Systems 1-month corporate wellness program (www.HealthEnhancementSystems.com), Green Planet Wellness (www.greenplanetwellness.com/?from=nw_021109), participants learn small steps that can add up to big change over time.

Green Planet Wellness focuses on eco-friendly habits that anyone can incorporate into everyday life -- at home and at work. "We've put together a list of more than 100 simple, practical ideas for a big impact on people's health and a smaller carbon footprint on the environment," notes Dean Witherspoon, President and founder of Health Enhancement Systems, a company that creates award-winning workplace wellness programs. "These environmentally-friendly habits -- such as sending e-cards, going on eco-vacations, choosing organic foods, using a push mower, and reusing office supplies -- help people take good care of themselves and the world around them."

Living gently has long-reaching effects -- not only in conserving resources, but in preventing waste from being created in the first place. That's good for business. "By building an environmentally-aware workforce, companies are finding they have happier, healthier employees who can do more with less," adds Witherspoon. "And that saves companies -- and their employees -- money."
