How Charlotte Will Bring Sexy to Green!
Denise L. Jackson is a certified green consultant and trainer who knows firsthand how certifying and preparing businesses for green practices creates jobs, creates transparency and creates sustainability. If a business is overpaying in utilities and other wasteful practices, how can the CEO justify hiring. But all of this is about to change. Any business can go on the website and use this free software called €green path assessment€ which you will be able to access a series of assessment sheets. They are divided into pull-downs by category and you need only check the ones that you have accomplished. A point calculator will calculate the pending Green Points for your effort. Once your company has progressed to the first 100 points you are ready for an in house audit by a certified green consultant. Once the audit is done and your company is rank certified, your business will now be listed with the Green Business League, another highly regarded organization such LEED, ISO or Energy Star.
Certification can be done within 30 days and once certified your company can add-on a variety of additions such as LEED, ISO or Energy Star. We invite the Chamber of Commerce, business associations, environmental committees, and city and community leaders to use this free software. Denise L Jackson says, €If we train students and displaced workers in entry level green jobs, businesses that are certified green will more than likely want to work with green skilled workers, thus jobs will remain plentiful and the skill workers will already be in our city.€ We need to help our schools, non profits and other organizations embrace training teens and adults in entry level green jobs.
Charlotte will bring sexy to green because this is a world class and innovative city. Charlotte will have an enormous skilled green workforce and hundreds of Certified Businesses. Business owners who are transparent, who are innovative, embraced by the community and can hire, will draw attention to this city especially during the Democratic National Convention. There's still time. This is what bringing sexy to green will mean and maybe just maybe other cities will follow our lead and jobs and green practices will be abundant in this great country. Sage Spa and Salon in Wilmington, NC is the first Green Certified Salon in Wilmington but who will be the first restaurant, hotel, school or dental office to be Certified Green in Charlotte? Certifications are celebrated because it is a big sexy deal!
