Creating a Green Team
If you want to help create a Green Team within your organization, here are some tips to help get you started:
- Get The Word Out
Send a company wide email or announce it at your next staff meeting. - Host a Meeting
Once you have a group of people who have expressed interest, set up your initial meeting. - Get Organized
Assign roles and responsibilities, and create a list of projects your team wants to work on. - Outreach
Reach out to various organizations to set up a time and place where your green team can get to work!
