A topic for discussion
April 21, 2008 by John Morelli and | Filed under: 1, 2, 3-The Goal of the Environmental Manager
The hypothesis we will explore in the Rochester symposium workshop is that the goal of the environmental manager working in the private sector is environmental sustainability.
Another issue for discussion, if time allows, is for us to consider what might be an appropriate time frame for environmental managers to be looking at as reasonable for achieving sustainability. Forty years ago the concept of zero emissions was unthinkable, but now there are companies that have actually set their sights on this target. Is it unreasonable to think that if it took us 40 years to go from not even being able to envision this thing, to actually planning for it, that in another 40 years we might move from the planning stage to actually realizing it?
