If you are reading this, you are probably wondering if you can run your facility in a more sustainable way. You may be plagued by doubts: Can it be done without spending a fortune? Can someone without a PhD in environmental engineering understand it? Can it be done without completely changing your organization and culture?

In a word, yes!

We wrote this guide to get you started. It’s a simple guide with straightforward recommendations that almost any facility can employ.

Greening your facility doesn’t have to be
costly. This book is full of ideas that will cost you nothing, or will save you money. There are even some ideas that will do both!
It doesn't have to be complicated. Much of what we suggest is just plain common sense.
It doesn't have to be disruptive. You can start with small steps and build up.

Adopting green does require commitment, a willingness to look critically at the way your facility is run, and a willingness to change. That may not be easy, but it is an effort that will pay for itself bountifully in better health, greater productivity, lower maintenance, lower energy costs, and increased goodwill.

We’ve done it at Kirksey, and you can, too.
