Wondering How You Are Going To Prepare Your Business For The New Sustainability Officer Legislation?

Students of the Sustainability Officer Training will be provided a strong introduction to the Greening process, shown how to install a program that merits respect, and will actually save the company a great deal of money. Green is also about efficiencies, and we know how to make Green pay. This is a self-paced course that can be completed in a week or two of part-time study. Video and downloadable text is immediately available upon sign up. You will leave with the knowledge, the ability, and the plan to turn your company into an Authentically Green Business.

This is the first online training for Sustainability (Green) Officer Training. This will kick off on Monday November 9th, 2009, and there is no firm time limit to complete the course although we schedule a two week cycle as a normal experience. There are a series of recorded training classes that the student may take at their leisure, and three live classes that will be archived in the event that the student misses the broadcast.

Upon registrations, the student will receive access to pre-class orientation materials. Prior to class, the student will be able to download and print the study materials. Upon completion of a prescribe set of tasks, the Sustainability Officer Certificate will be sent to the student. This is a great credential on your professional resume.

We are limiting this class, so it is very important to make your reservation right away. Due to bandwidth requirements, we must buy the Internet capability in advance.

Upon registration, you will receive notice of your reservation and some early recommendations that will help you prepare for a very rewarding experience as the classes begin.

The registration fee is $250, and the remaining $1345 is due and payable by the start of class. We provide a 100% money back guarantee for all students if you find that the course is not everything we had promised. We fully expect that you will be exceedingly pleased with the volume of information, professional content, and breadth of subject matter.

Our goal is EMPOWERMENT, and this is done by providing a tremendous education on practical environmental issues that every business needs to know.　 Starting from the vantage point of vital facts and concepts, the program leads into a clear path to sustainable business transition.

Sustainability Officer Training offers a broad range of topics that cover every element of Green business applications.　 The goal is not to make the Sustainability Officer an expert in all subjects, but to make　this　person　knowledgeable.　 That well-rounded knowledge is the missing ingredient in most Green committees.

Your company will Go Green. There is no doubt about that. What is unknown is how well or how poorly the Greening is done.　 If it is done poorly, your company will eventually have to return to the task to do it again and again until it is right.　 It just makes sense to Go Green the right way since it is relatively easy to do at this time.

As a trained Sustainability Officer returns to the workplace, there are noticeable changes. The sense of mission is now merged with business success. Green officers have learned about the triple bottom line:　People, planet, and profits. At this point, the concept of Green is a clear asset to the business because the Green efficiency factor will increase company productivity and year-end profits.

Sustainability Officer Training is time well-spent, and it will be more informative and practical than any Green conference your people might attend.　 Our subject matter is direct, effective, and is designed to provide a clear path to a authentically Green business. If you want to sign up or learn more go to www.sustainabilityofficertraining.com.

The Sustainability/Green Officer Training is taught through an online program that provides clear instruction for Green business operation.　 For too long, the Green transition has been left to the best efforts of a few appointed people who had no formal training in environmental principles. Good intentions that are hampered by limited information will lead to a program that lacks integrity.

Behind the Designers Interview Series: Kimarie Designs, fair-trade jewelry pioneer

We caught up with fair-trade jewelry pioneer, Kimarie Burnette of Kimarie Designs to learn more about what inspires her and why she uses fair-trade labor from Bali.

1.  How did you get started in making jewelry?

I traveled to Bali and fell in love with the art and the people.

2.  Sustainability in the jewelry sector is pretty rare, what inspired you to go fair-trade?

My friend told me people were dying refining metal in Indonesia because of the toxic chemicals, we then set about learning how to refine our own metal and establish best practices.

3.  What one thing would you like all jewelry shoppers to know about traditional jewelry?

I’d like people to know that jewelry making in Bali is a centuries old tradition that is handed down from generation to generation. All our jewelry is hand fabricated with a lot of love.

4.  Who are you outside of the founder and designer of Kimarie Designs?

A mom and wife and big fan of sushi.

5.  Who would you be most thrilled to know is wearing your jewelry?

My friends.

6.  What is the experience of working in Bali like?

Working in Bali has been amazing. My goldsmiths now our the kids of my previous set of goldsmiths that are retired and fishing now. It has been wonderful to see them grow up get married and now have to enter “the real world” have a job raise kids etc. My aesthetic and constitution seems to fit Bali like a glove. I love the organic wild and at the same time laid back and very fatalistic tones of their culture. I am able to understand it and work within it very well.
