I
hope this finds you well!
I'm hosting Get To Zero CO2 at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort on Friday,
November 14th and at the Montpelier City Hall/Lost Nation Theater on Monday,
November 17th. This conference series focuses on upstream waste management
and environmentally preferable purchasing practices. www.GetToZeroCO2.com
On November 14th and 17th the Director of Purchasing for Rutgers University,
Dr. Kevin Lyons, will be coming to the North Country to give a 6-hour training
workshop on greening the supply chain. Dr. Lyons is known as a global expert
on this topic, and consults with companies like Wachovia Bank, Johnson &
Johnson and Mars Candy. He also consults extensively on management of
electronic waste. Dr. Lyons has been working in environmental supply chain
management for decades, and we are very fortunate he's coming to teach us
what he's learned. The workshop curriculum includes: Creating an effective
Supply Chain Environmental Management/Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
Policy, Cost Benefit Analysis/ROI Analysis, Waste and Landfill Management,
Vendor/Supplier Participation, National/International Resources,
eProcurement, and case studies.
A number of other speakers will be presenting in addition to Dr. Lyons. They
will be discussing local efforts to create a healthier community, such as a
local public transportation project, and the owner of a local business that
successfully manages their waste upstream. We will also be showing
"Manufactured Landscapes", a movie that poetically demonstrates
where much of our most toxic e-waste ends up: in huge piles in China.
"Manufactured Landscapes" is often compared to "Who Killed the
Electric Car" and "An Inconvenient Truth" in its ability to
create a cultural understanding of the importance of upstream waste
management and product lifecycle design.
I know you get it about upstream waste management, so I wanted to let you
know about this important event. I hope that you will support Blue Sky
Environmental Strategies' efforts to deliver this timely information to
businesses, governmental entities, non-profits and the education sector.
Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested in
exhibiting at, sponsoring or attending this event.
I look forward to hearing from you! And thanks again!
