Various Related Uncertain Parameters

What? Say that again! "Various Related Uncertain Parameters".

That sentence characterizes the operating environment of a new environmentally sustainable technology, practice or product.

It describes all the aspects one tries to consider when making sustainable choices in unfamiliar territory.

It hints at the unintended results - consequences or benefits - discovered after you've tried a new green technology, practice or product and found that one practice affects so many others in unanticipated ways. 

It really means: you're going where no one has gone before.

For me, my community, my profession and the planet I believe it means "Go Green and Prosper".

Thoughtful Choices

LEDs in National Aquarium's iconic outdoor "blue wave" logo now saving 70% on energy
More museums, aquariums, gardens and historic sites these days are putting the sustainability work front and center - even on their web pages.

Here's a really good example: the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

It's called "Thoughtful Choices". And it's not just about what the Aquarium is doing with waste, energy and water management, but it's about what the visitor can do, too. 

Thoughtful choices - for everyone.
