Excellent article Conrad! In mertropolitan areas most of the real estate has been previously developed and is often contaminated. Your strategy and knowledege of environmental cleanup is invaluable in situations like this. With the availability of insurance and other options to aid in the cost of cleanup many landowners will be able to develop previously contaminated sites into vibrant sustainable projects.

A great article. I like how you touched on the us of grassroots/guerrilla style marketing to reach consumers thru social media. This is something that can be very powerful and does not require a large marketing budget or add agency. It also makes it much easier for you to control the message. Good stuff!

I would love to attend....but I cant miss the vice-presidential "debate".

Hello,

I share your desire to grow my business and promote sustainability and healthier living.

I am an EcoBroker Realtor with focus on educating, promoting and encouraging sustainable building in the Seattle area.

I also sit on the Great City Initiative which is focused on bringing together organizations and individuals committed to making positive, lasting change, breaking down traditional barriers that can get in the way of smart planning and helping Seattle grow and thrive as a truly great city.

And I love the Eco-Halloween mask idea!

Great article Conrad! Many companies find the act of going green a daunting one. The Environmental Management System plan you outlined is a great guide for small and large businesses. Even if a business doenst have the resources to pursue and implement the ISO 14001 standard....there is a lot of low hanging fruit that can drastically green their business. No matter the size of the business or the available resources greening your business is possible.

Brad,

Unfortunately I wont be able to make this meeting. I look forward to the next one!

Shane
