The greater Los Angeles area is an excellent choice for the second Green Consultant training event in 2009. The state of California is involved in one of the most challenging battles between population growth and natural resources compared to almost any other state. The people of the state of California seem unique position to be the leaders, trend-setters, and innovators of a new and better way to live and do business without destroying the things we all need and love.

However, where do businesses turn once they have exhausted the three or four popular ideas commonly promoted in Green seminars? Sure, it is a good idea to change the lights to save energy, attending a Green seminar is certain a good idea, and getting a programmable thermostat to turn down the heat at night pretty much runs most businesses to their limit of Green ideas.

However, there are hundreds of effective and low-cost Green practices that can be plugged into any business of any size. Unlike the LEED program, there is not need to throw $100,000 or more at building renovations that have a 15-20 year payback. Even the most modest budgets can use the strategies introduced in monthly segments to earn a company's Green Business certification with the Green Business League.

Does a Green building automatically equal a Green operation? Not really. It is more than possible to have a Green building with some very un-Green tenants. It seems obvious that Green operation or practices are a vital part of Going Green, and it only requires some professional guidance to discover how easy and effective installing these practices can be.

To meet the growing need for professional guidance in Green business compliance, the Green Business League is placing 250 Green Consultants throughout the United States. This is not nearly enough to address the enormity of the task, but it is the first step in a vanguard of professional Green consultants. A list of these consultants can be found on the Green Consultant Directory.

Addressing the environmental issues is not just a local or state. We have Green Consultant students coming from Dubai, Bermuda, Canada, Brazil, and Australia. In the belief that we must multiplex the Green efforts of a few, the plan is to create thousands of Green Consultants worldwide. The training is four days of live classes, and one year of continuous learning. Each certified Green Consultant will discover a huge demand for their services in a nearly empty field of competition.

Finally, there is a clear path to earning a Green Business certification that is surprisingly affordable. Using a monthly system, any company can accumulate 100 points by adopting the simple yet effect ideas. Going Green is a progressive project that allows the modest cost to be spread out over several months. This program works for small, medium, or large businesses equally well. In the end, every company Goes Green in its own unique but realistic manner. The Green Business League thereafter services as a business resource connecting Green Businesses locally and nationally to other Green businesses.
