How to Start a Green Team – Paperback

Description

Have you ever:

Been frustrated with the way people waste things?

Worried about what kind of world we’re leaving to our next generation?

Wanted to make a difference at work, at church, or anywhere?

The best way to get started on this journey is to get a green team together. As an individual, you may work at being the best person you can be, making responsible decisions to live a greener life, but that is not enough. We need to get more folks working together to reduce our impact wherever we work or spend our time. This helps everyone – it saves money and makes everyone feel better about how they are living out their values. The truth is, everyone wants a healthy planet!

If you want to make a bigger difference helping people live a greener life, this is definitely the book for you.

This book is unique in its approach. There are many books out there that give you tips for a greener office or home, but they don’t help you organize an effort that will have a bigger impact. This book gives you a clear path to getting everyone in the organization working together towards a greener operation.

This book will give you some phenomenal green team planning tools to help you start, recruit, plan, and evaluate where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. Week One covers how to recruit members for your green team and get everyone excited to be a part of the team. Week Two covers developing goals for your first year and transforming those goals into a good, solid action plan. Week Three shows you how to reduce the inevitable resistance to change and motivate people to adopt the green team’s ideas. Week Four shows you how to communicate your vision and plan. Week Five gives you a great way to roll out your plan to the rest of the organization with a fun and inspiring kick-off event, along with alternatives to make sure you reach all the people in your organization. Week Six helps you set up a system to keep your efforts going. Bonus materials include sample checklists and templates for many of the activities. This is the first in a series, Green Team Fundamentals, Book 1. Be on the lookout for Book 2: Green Team Projects: Balancing People, Planet, and Profit.

This is the first book you should read when you want to get people excited about the environment and making better decisions about work and lifestyle. Get this book and start now!
