Personal Statement

I don't believe in "cold shower" sustainability. Sustainability is a way of thinking, not a thing. While it may be something to aspire to, few of us have the wherewithal to simply "do the right thing". Sustainability, done right, should a tool help us achieve the goals of our organization or ourselves.
