There's concern about "green washing" where someone makes claims of being environmental when they're not - but to be honest, I'm tired of the finger pointing, and prefer to shed light on the amazing success stories that aren't being told.
As a communication consultant, I'm helping some of the country’s top builders and manufacturers effectively integrate their green message into their existing campaigns. Here are a few of my clients:
