| Abstract | "Today, we're getting a glimpse of the future: melting polar icecaps, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, shortages of drinking water and higher rates of respiratory illnesses due to poor air quality. There is tremendous pressure on corporations to be energy efficient and not leave a large carbon footprint. This book is written for leaders who believe that a better future is possible and attainable. It's for leaders who are ready to act now and begin the process of saving the world. This book will provide blueprints and templates that executives and senior managers can use to create viable energy efficiency strategies and pitch them successfully to the C-suite and executive boards. It will include practical frameworks and step-by-step plans for saving money and finding new sources of funding for energy efficiency programs. It is a playbook for businesses and organizations struggling with higher energy costs, intricate regulations and greater public awareness of the dangers of applying "take, make, waste" approaches to natural resources"-- Provided by publisher. |
