Making Green from Green
Posted on Oct 14 2009
Eight upcoming lectures about the business side of sustainability.
Our friends at the Columbia Sustainable Business Committee are launching a new program for those of us who want to remain savvy about the quickly evolving landscape of sustainable business practices. Between October and June they will be hosting one themed, educational event each month. To make the opportunity even sweeter, you can earn a certificate of attendance by attending six out of the eight events!
The first event will be focused on opportunities in LEED architectural practices and will be hosted next Tuesday, October 20th . Listen to experts discuss the topic and tour the LEED Platinum Queens Botanical Garden Visitor & Administration Building. Registration fee includes tour, panel and networking reception with two free drinks and hors d’oeuvres.
