This innovative and inspiring guide to practical action shows why it's also the smart thing to do. Working with the environment saves money and resources, fosters consumer loyalty, and diminishes the need for outside regulation. Efficiency is the common ally of business and the environment, while wastefulness is their common enemy. And, as every successful businessperson and environmentalist realizes, daily choices create long-term, bottom-line effects." "Tedd Saunders and Loretta McGovern share the strategies, management techniques, and emergent technologies that various companies large and small have successfully implemented to ensure continued or increased vitality while contributing to the resolution of environmental problems. Based on their own experience and the examples of the up-and-running programs of businesses such as Coca-Cola, Nordstrom, Apple Computer, the Los Angeles Times, and many more, they offer step-by-step guidelines for recycling and buying recycled supplies to save resources and money; taking a proactive approach to shape emerging business practices; making an environmental program an effective part of your marketing and public relations campaign; keeping current on regulations, alternatives, and technologies; educating employees - from management to the maintenance crew - and soliciting their hands-on input; moving beyond compliance and into the realm of environmental excellence, and much more." "The Bottom Line of Green Is Black includes the facts on legislation and EPA recommendations and features dozens of down-to-earth tips, checklists, and procedures adaptable to every business enterprise."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
