DISQUS

I think I broke down my thoughts about this podcast into a semi-coherent manner. Please let me know if I'm not clear on anything.

1) Shari broke green regulations down into three types -Command & Control, Finacial Incentives, and Non-finacial Incentives.

I think that's a great breakdown and I'd like to see it fleshed out more. Can Shari (or anyone) elaborate and/or give more examples?

2) Green project litigation is not too far from normal building litigation.

How do I sell that to management?
Are there examples or professional articles demostrating that?

3) Shari said that the personal side of Green offsetting was unregulated, but I'd like to know how well the coroprate side is regulated. For both sides you recomended we try to verify the offsets are being done.

Where/how do you verify a company is actually offsetting? Is there a listing in the BBB or any kind of user review site?

4) Shari's advice for how to go green without cash had the following four steps - Start with EB, look for state/local incentives, look for tax incentives from what sounded like TARP (is that Troubled Assets Relief Program?), and look for banks that are looking for green projects.

Do we have any examples or lessons learned from TARP or from the banks? Do we have any idea which banks are actively promoting green and which banks are just after the checkie?

Concidered!? Oy. Clearly I need more coffee. :)

You are not having the best of luck with this body style. Have you concidered a Fit? ;)

Seriously though, I'm glad the three of you are OK.
