Resources for Green Teams

Welcome to Sustainable Silicon Valley's new green teams resources page.

A green team is a group of employees volunteering to help identify and implement specific improvements to help their organization (business, government entity, etc.) operate in a more sustainable fashion.

If you have any documentation that you think would assist other green teams to function better, and you are willing to put it into the public domain on this page, please contact Marianna Grossman at mgrossman at SustainableSiliconValley.org.
