From forming a Green Team to tracking results - and everything in between - The Green Office Handbook is a one-stop resource for greening any office. Whether you're just getting started, or need help taking your greening program to the next level, The Green Office Handbook provides everything you need to get there, including:

• 7 separate checklists, with hundreds of individual steps. Pick the sections and steps that make sense for your office – do as much or as little as you need to achieve your goals, but know that you’ve covered all of the bases.

• 7 “Scoreboards” allow you to track your progess and report back to your colleagues and senior management. Just download the Scoreboards from the CD (included), plug in your data, and let them do the rest. Each Scoreboard includes detailed instructions and is easy to use, even for Excel® novices.

• Draft emails: Just download these Word® documents from the CD - they are ready for you to personalize and send out to colleagues to announce your greening initiative, provide a green tip, communicate a new policy, and more.

• Strategies for a Green Office Presentation: Also included on the CD, this Powerpoint® presentation provides the background you need to explain to colleagues what sustainability is, why it's important for businesses, the characteristics of successful sustainability programs, and much more. Tailor the presentation for your company or deliver it as is - it's your choice.

• Clear, concise data in the Handbook, gives you the facts you need to encourage others to make changes. Additional information and FAQs provide further details and resources for each topic, for those interested in learning more.

We're also available to launch your greening program for you or to work with you one-on-one. Contact us at info@TheSustainableOffice.com for more information.
