Course Description:
Just as the internet changed the way we live and work, making your business as “carbon neutral” (green) as possible is becoming a pre-requisite to succeed in our “green-minded” economy and doing business with the federal government. This course is only for organizations that want to be the best in their field and help the government achieve mandated energy and water efficiency requirements.
You will get access to hundreds of the most cost-effective (and profitable) strategies to help your organization and your government customer become “lean and green”. This program will show you how to identify markets and implement carbon reduction strategies, as well as overcome the barriers that kill most projects. One idea from this course will offset the tuition many times over!
Plus, this course combines cutting-edge information along with proven, practical techniques. You will learn from and work with Dr. Eric Woodroof, a renowned energy and environmental expert. You will also receive Dr. Woodroof’s “Resource Vault” of useful tools, case studies and marketing material, a bonus worth $5000.00. It would take you months to assemble this much quality information, even if you knew where to look. Brainstorm with other students because breakthroughs are expected!
