Needed a pilot!
Promoting a Culture of Sustainability
Green170 Pilot (Feb – March 2009)
Process Followed
A lead volunteer took action Identified floor volunteers Reviewed building performance data Audited building with experts Crafted list of actions for occupants Identified communication strategy Started the pilot
Goals
Cut electricity use by at least 10-15%,
Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
