WELCOME to ManagingGreen! Our May issue is jam-packed with new information and cost-effective tips for expanding the Green management of facilities – all of which help to create healthier and more productive work environments for building occupants.

Starting with our explanation of a REAL Green Cleaning program, you will learn about:

• The latest developments in carpet recycling – (believe it when we say this is a MUST READ for any facility manager!)
• How executives nationwide rate Green facilities in comparison to traditionally managed facilities
• A new nationwide effort to mandate the recycling of computers and other electronic equipment
• The rapid growth of environmental protection initiatives led by religious groups
• .........And much more!

If you are first-time reader of ManagingGreen we should share that our objective is to provide useful information to all you folks involved in the management and operation of buildings: facility managers, their internal teams, and all those that provide products and services that contribute to facility management. Our focus is sustainable/green building management. Each issue includes:

• Several concentrated articles on particular aspects of green building management. These articles will be provided by a pool of green building operation experts, green cleaning experts, honest to goodness facility mangers, and others.
• Nuggets of information on sustainable/green building management in the form of clippings from a wide variety of sources.

We love feedback, so please email us any suggestions of topics you would like us to address or any comments on our articles or the newsletter in general. We look forward to reading your comments.
