Introduction
The world
is heating up and so are the environmental politics worldwide. New government
regulations and the newly signed Kyoto Protocol have put environmental issues
on the top of the agenda for most Canadian public and private sector organizations
- small, medium and large.
Northwestern Polytechnic University (NPU) is a large post-secondary institution
with approximately 50,000 full- and part-time students, and over 2000 employees.
NPU has eight schools: Business, Health Sciences, Transportation, Manufacturing
and Industrial Mechanical, Construction, and Computing and Academic Studies.
This organization has an enormous environmental impact not only on its 80
acres of land, but also on the surrounding community.
The
Board of Governors of NPU wants to be seen as a socially responsible corporate
citizen and has decided to "go green" in order to comply with the new government
regulations and the Kyoto Protocol. The Board has formed a task force
to develop recommendations for implementing an environmental policy.
You have been asked to participate in the task force with other professionals
from all over campus. Your job is an important one because going green has
significant financial and operational impacts to the organization.
What does it take
to go green?
