Clifford Waldeck’s Interests:
Advancing Green Business certification and utilization via passionate advocacy throughout the business, government, education and non-profit communities. Along with emissions control and building design, the green business certification process is an effective tool in curbing global warming. Highly visible and grassroots, certified green businesses use less energy, conserve water, reuse and recycle product, promote best environmental practices and keep material out of the landfill. Moreover, certified green businesses will be the first adopters of many of the new technologies developed in the clean tech sector. Simply put, the more businesses that are certified green, the more pollution will be prevented, resources conserved and carbon emissions curtailed. Importantly, retail businesses like Waldeck's that sell green products greatly enhance the visibility and usage of environmentally friendly practices.
