  19. VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS “Our corporate reputation, specifically our emphasis on environmental issues, has been vital to our ability to attract and retain the best people. When environmental practices become part of a corporation’s code of conduct, it attracts customers to the company and employees to its jobs.” Larry Babbio Vice Chairman and President

  20. PROCTOR & GAMBLE “Sustainable development is not only becoming an important public policy issue, it is becoming a significant business opportunity.” George D. Carpenter Director Corporate Sustainable Development

PLANET GSA (U.S. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION) “With GSA purchasing more than $50 billion in goods and services each year, it’s easy to see how significant the impact that “greening” GSA can be.

A favorite example of mine is the environment.” William Clay Ford, Jr. Chairman

  38. Y O U have an opportunity to M A K E A D I F F E R E N C E

  39. Question 1 A client or colleague has requested that you incorporate a product that is clearly not "green" — not contributing to the overall health of the environment. This product is readily available and within the client's budget, while finding its environmentally friendly counterpart will take additional time and research and you are concerned about deadlines and dollars. What are your options?

  40. Question 2 We often talk about a "path to sustainability" as shared among design and facilities professionals, clients, and manufacturers. What is the "fork in the road" to incorporating sustainable design — what is the critical juncture in "going green?" Of these three groups, who reaches and negotiates the fork first and why? What is the fork?

  41. Question 3 Sustainability. Environmentally friendly. Green. Ecologically responsible. Within the realm of professionals whose work directly impacts the built environment, these terms have come to mean many things to a diverse audience. What is your definition of sustainable design? How has sustainable design become increasingly relevant to your practice or specialty area in the last one to three years?

  42. Question 4 List at least five potential factors that could be deterrents in achieving both sustainable design and design excellence. Briefly comment on viable solutions or alternatives.

  43. Question 5 What support or tools (e.g., CEUs, customer service "green" desks) would be most useful to design professionals in supporting their efforts in creating an environmentally responsible practice? How can manufacturers specifically contribute to the effort?

  44. Question 6 The triple bottom-line equals social equity, economic performance and environmental responsibility. This concept has been defined as a blueprint for becoming truly sustainable. How does this apply to design professionals? How does this apply to manufacturers?
