The USGBC has got it together. I love their Climage Change Action Plan:
I would encourage any organization focused on sustainability to develop a Climage Change Action Plan of their own. I know that companies like Avid Group (shout out to my buddy, Stacie Green, in their Jacksonville office *waves*!) have developed GREEN programs to change their daily business practice to promote sustainability. Breaking Ground, of course, promotes their Green Philosophy.
What have you done today? What can you do to ensure we have a fruitful, sustainable tomorrow?
Share with us....
1. Require 50% CO2 reduction for all new commercial LEED
projects.
2. Increase energy reduction prerequisites in LEED
3. Initiate CO2 offset program based on LEED performance data.
4. Provide free LEED for Existing Buildings registration for all
projects certified under LEED for New Construction and LEED for Core and
Shell.
5. Eliminate certification fees for all LEED Platinum projects.
6. Make USGBC 100% carbon neutral by end of 2007
7. Offer "portfolio performance" program for large landlords.
