Net Impact Weekly Professional 2008 Green Challenge

If you’re a member of Net Impact and haven’t gotten in your entry for the Professional 2008 Green Challenge, act fast – the deadline is August 11th! The Green Challenge recognizes and rewards Net Impact members that are working on projects that make a positive environmental impact on their company, campus or community.

Some examples from last year’s Green Challenge include:

*Establishment of environmental task forces or “green teams”
*Creating the business case for green building programs on campus
*Efforts to move campuses and workplaces towards carbon neutrality
*Greening of cafeterias on campus or in the workplace

First prize winners (1 student, 1 professional) will get a cash prize of $500, $500 in Net Impact scholarships, a $100 gift certificate from TheGreenOffice.com, an 8,000 pound CO2 offset from TerraPass and recognition of the project’s success on the Net Impact website, at the 2008 North American conference and in Net Impact’s newsletter publications.

If you’re not already a member of Net Impact and would like to learn more, check out their website. The Net Impact network is made up of MBAs, graduate students and professionals who are committed to using busines for social good. Net Impact offers lots of great resources to help members hone their professional skills. And, if you become a member now, you’ll be able to participate in next year’s Green Challenge!
