Companies that prosper in the future will be more sustainable, with new products and processes. This seminar was designed to provide an answer to three questions. “What does being sustainable mean?” “Why does it matter?” “What must we do to become sustainable?” At the end of the day, people participating will:
* have a high level view of our natural environment, and its challenges that involve business;
* recognize many of the different tools and techniques that can be used, with examples;
* have a start in developing a company specific strategy, business case, plan, and responsibilities.
For the first time we have a critical mass of elected officials who recognize the urgent need for new revenue sources to resolve the ongoing deficit in the King County budget. Now, we must use this growing momentum to insist that a long term funding solution for community health and human services be identified and implemented to restore funding to an acceptable base level. This will be a significant public policy change that will allow for stable funding for urgently needed services across the county.
