Practical Sustainability: A Perspective, Philosophy, and Guide for Implementing Sustainability in any Organization - Paperback

For more than two decades, Dan Broersma has lived and breathed sustainability in the workplace. And it's been that, along with a lifetime of curiosity and passion towards the field, that has shaped his career and perspectives. By facing the often complicated aspects of sustainability head on, constantly asking questions, and approaching every problem with a holistic viewpoint, Broersma discovered sustainability is not only important, but essential to each and every organization. Furthermore, the benefits of sustainability go far beyond simply the environment, such as financial, marketing, and workplace culture benefits-a multitude of reasons to get behind a more sustainable future.

What you'll find in this book consists of Broersma's vast experience distilled into his philosophy, advice, and encouragement. He's done the hard work of implementing sustainability programs in different business environments, building teams and realistic goals to manage solid waste, energy, and water for reuse and reduction-and now you can too. In PRACTICAL SUSTAINABILITY, which serves as a sort of combination guidebook and memoir, Broersma provides the insight and tools to change the question of "Should I embrace sustainability in my organization?" into the more appropriate, "Why wouldn't I?"
