“I would encourage top management and business owners to make the protection of our environment a top priority and to promote and educate their workforce to do the same, not just at work, but at home.  They should create a team who will drive the program each and every day, otherwise, their efforts will be ineffective and not taken seriously. Finally, make a difference by voicing your opinion on environmental issues with your local, state and federal elected officials, your friends, your co-workers, and your family.”
