Produktbeschreibung
Climate change is possible the largest problem facing current and future generations. A largely unknown fact is that the built environment is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions - more than other sources such as vehicles and factories. This means that a major effort is needed to renovate existing buildings and only build "green" buildings in the future. For nonprofit and humanitarian organizations, constructing sustainable buildings appears to be cost-prohibitive. However, cash strapped organizations can benefit from the availability of many grants designated for sustainability initiatives. In this work, Ms. Olsen demystifies the grant searching process by using the Teton Valley Community School as a case study. Ms. Olsen provides information on a number of online grant portals and advice from experts in the industry. This is a concise, informative source for your nonprofit organization's sustainable building initiatives.
