Setting up a Green Council Working Committee
Article posted by Craig on Friday, March, 20th, 2009 at 8:54 amWhere to begin…where to being. I’m seriously hoping this exercise is not going to be a repeat of my last visit to the dentist. What we are trying to do is set up a working Green Council within a business organiztion that will benefit and educate members of the committee and of the organization. Sounds simple doesn’t it. WRONG! It has been my experience that whenever two or more people, unknown to eachother, sit down to discuss a “new” concept, opinions are going to vary tremendously.
And not only opinions. We spent the first half hour on semantics…what the meaning of “is” is. Believe me whenever you have a new, socially volitile, emotiaonally charged topic like “Green” anything, your going to have to take your time and make sure there is consensus. If Ihad any hair I’d pull it out, but I’m going to calm down and realize that this is a process. I had so much steam coming out of my ears yesterday that i didn’t take the time to educate the people there about my concerns. That’s my fault. Expecting everything to run smoothly is a pipe dream and i shouldn’t have had my expectations that high. I promise to do better.
What this ongoing blog is hoping to accomplish is the education of you out there who may be thinking about or attempting the same type of thing…a committee to further sustainable (after half an hour this is what we came up with instead of Green!! Can’t wait to get a new definition for another word next week!!) building practices. Sarcasm aside, I do hope to provide educable materials in this blog, but I will also keep it humorous. none of us needs another trip to the dentist! I will change the names to protect the innocent but lets hope this is very informative for all of us.
