 The FWA in New Jersey is pleased to offer a timely discussion by leaders in the green movement of strategies for individuals and businesses to "go green" as well as green business opportunities that can benefit both you and the environment.
This program will address frequently asked questions related to green strategies including:
- What does it mean to you and your professional life?
- How can you make this a financially and environmentally sound investment for your organization?
- How can this movement benefit you, your organization, and the earth?
Going Green and Sustainable Environments will explore personal and financial opportunities in this burgeoning field. Leaders in this movement will discuss how to implement green strategies in your work and personal life, how to start or fund a green business, green building and sustainable environments that can be implemented at work and at home, and the economic rationale of going green including the ROI and Life Cycle Costing of sustainable environments.
