Partners in Project Green (PPG) after the launch of their business-to-business waste diversion program. This month, PPG has launched another project aimed at reducing the environmental impact of GTA businesses. This time, instead of targeting management-types, PPG is looking directly to employees.
Now in its second year, the People Power Challenge (PPC) is a year-long contest that encourages employees of GTA businesses to get active in greening their own organization.
It doesn't cost anything to sign up, it's open to any GTA company, and each participating organization can choose whether they want to participate in one, two or all three of the sub-challenges throughout the year. The challenge areas for this year's competition are Green Procurement, Green Building and Transportation. Each challenge category will have its own specific goals, point-system and winner. At the end of the competition year, one company in each size category will be declared the overall competition winner and will be awarded $2,500 and a plaque at a Partners in Project Green networking event.
The 2012/2013 contest officially kicks off November 1. Registration information is available
here.
