Going Green $aves Green

Going Green $aves Green. University of South Carolina’s green efforts are becoming best practices for universities. A strong business case for the environment and a helpful reading for consultants like me who often have to talk money with clients. Projected savings for the University of South Carolina are huge and will bring great improvements to the campus environmental performance. These efforts at USC so far have not only saved money and promoted sustainability, but have also established “best practices” demonstrating that sustainability makes good business sense.

Worth of notice, some of the initiatives do not require upfront investments; nonetheless, they still produce substantial savings. As an example, the USC student/staff recycling program will lead to a projected annual savings of $30,000 in waste management. If that's not talking money...!
