Initially, they act as an extension of an organization’s staff, planning and taking action on its behalf, including scheduling audits with existing programs, creating action lists and implementing them, setting up and/or facilitating an internal “green team” group, developing a strategy, and setting up and monitoring savings. Over time, as organizations acclimate to using our tools (e.g. action worksheets, monitoring tools, etc.), they take over their own planning, execution, and tracking of their green program. For 3 months, Connect The Dots partners with nonprofits to serve as "personal trainers" to address the most beneficial greening processes: Waste ManagementNatural resources are precious.
