Greening Your Business

One of the goals of this blog and the monthly networking event is to help existing businesses be more environmentally-friendly. This morning I ran across a useful guide (pdf) for organizations looking to improve their environmental awareness and reduce their carbon footprint. The first part of it basically outlines how one should organize the effort. Rather than just make piecemeal changes, organizations (including businesses) should take a more holistic approach. The guide does offer some useful suggestions regarding resource usage (energy, recycling, etc.) . It goes on to suggest looking beyond just your organization - consider your community and your business partners.
