Green Team Goals & Action

Green Team Goals & Action

Conservation is the primary objective of the Green Team and is only possible due to the on-going support of those who work to save our resources, whether it be financially, environmentally or economically.

The Green Team's mission has been to assist our organization become environmentally responsible in every aspect of its operation. The Green Team's two basic goals are to educate the community about environmental issues in order to reduce the company's environmental impacts and to support changes in "green-related" activities and policies. This will be an ongoing process and will require the cooperation of everyone in our community. Only by changing traditional behavior and attitudes can we accomplish significant and lasting improvements.

We should focus on the four environmental R's, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Renew.

Distribute copies of the goals and implementation plans for both the Green Building Division and the Infrastructure and Employee Awareness Division to clarify those goals.

The short term goal of the Green Committee to “prepare a proposal that all facilities equipment replacement and renovation projects be LEED certified.

A resolution to the Green Committee to take steps to:

       • Immediately implement energy and utility conservation in all facilities

• Not only encompass green building – other green methods

• Take as many actions as prudent to reduce Greenhouse Gasses

• Develop target goals

• Oversee progress and provide corporate outreach for action plans

• Immediately adopt and proclaim a policy that Windsor facilities become a Green Facility over a period of time.

Creation of incentives such and benefits for  people pursuing green building and hoped to pursue incentives for other endeavors that were in step with the goals of the committee.
