Monarch Empress starts with durable water treatment

Being eco-friendly is getting more and more important. Entrepreneurs that join the ‘go green’ trend are greatly appreciated these days. Although appreciation is meaningful, it is also important for entrepreneurs that environment-friendly, alternative products are reliable and cost efficient. The company River Advice started to make her Avalon fleet environment-friendly a few years ago.
