Green To Gold: Preparing for a New World

I think it's extremely interesting how, "environmental challenges have become an important part of the business landscape." I love the fact that doing the right thing for the planet is now in total alignment with business practices! It definitely is inspiring me to transition into this field and start using my skills to green up everything we can on this planet. So many green things are no-brainers, as seen in the class waste audit we're doing at IVC. We are finding all sorts of items being chucked as trash, when they could be easily set aside for recycling. It makes business sense for the school to do so, in that they can jump on the green wave and therefor improve their standing in the community, can save money on trash hauling AND even make money with redeeming items such as bottles and cans!
