There are a number of important reasons why Casale Jewelers decided to Go Green with there business. The most significant being that preserving the world’s natural resources is the responsibility of every individual both at work and at home.
Casale introduced eco-friendly LED lighting inside the showcases and on the tracks of the ceiling fixtures.
 |
LED lights use about 1/10 the amount of energy used in traditional light bulbs. It is a fact that LED light bulbs last about 30 times longer than traditional light bulbs. With this, the store will help Save Money, Save Electric and Save the Planet. |
The next step was to add two Mitsubishi MSZ-D36NA air conditioning units that have incredible efficiency.
 |
The Mitsubishi Mini-Split systems make their mark on not only the temperature of a home, but the homeowner’s energy bills as well. The MSZ/MUZ-D36NA-1 system uses R410A refrigerant, a far more environmentally friendly and less polluting refrigerant.
|
Going Green is an incremental process. As with many other business efforts, there will be easily attainable action steps and more advanced requirements. It is impossible to say how far along the Green path any business should travel, but a focused effort can have a meaningful impact.

“Going Green is a big step in Casale helping the environment. We are known for giving back to the community, it is now time to give back to the earth and help make the world a cleaner place” says Cory Schifter, owner of Casale Jewelers. |
“We have changed the lighting in our showcases and ceiling fixtures and added energy efficient air/heating units to start, the next steps include recyclable business cards and customer bags. We have our plan in place, it is time to implement.”
The larger value of going green relates to maintaining the health of the environment. Utilizing sustainable methods can prevent the waste of natural resources, helping reduce the risk of depletion on the long run. Going green can be as simple as making sure lights are turned off in unused offices–thus preventing the waste of electricity–or as elaborate as utilizing alternative forms of energy (i.e., solar or wind energy). In either case, the goal of making these changes is to preserve natural resources by using those that are sustainable, or by taking measures to reduce the amount consumed.
