The Green Nonprofit: The First 52 Weeks of Your Green Journey is for nonprofit leaders who want to reduce environmental impact and save money, quickly implement basic energy- and water-saving strategies, create a green team to help generate and implement green ideas, and outline a sustainability plan that matches your strategic goals. To help you begin your journey, Author Sarah Brophy provides a two-step/two-week approach to get the word out and help you find helpers. Fifty-two weeks is a long time to work alone on an effort as important as greening your nonprofit. From the beginning, Brophy shows how to share what you do and build a team to help. By breaking the start of your green journey into 52 weekly steps, Brophy makes the journey easy and fun. She rarely uses jargon but when its important enough to mention, she explains it. Though this book is for nonprofit practitioners, its also suitable for anyone in a for-profit business who wants to be environmentally responsible. Brophy is a pioneer in the field of environmental sustainability in educational nonprofits, particularly museums, zoos, aquariums, and gardens. She consults on environmental sustainability throughout the United States and is a frequent speaker at regional and national conferences. She is the co-author of The Green Museum, now in its second edition. This is a CharityChannel Press In the Trenches book.
