I've met many people who want to help do their part in making this planet a better place, but aren't quite sure where to start.  A Los Angeles based company by the name of Sustainable Works might just be the perfect solution for these green hungry people. 

Sustainable Works is a non-profit environmental education organization whose mission is to "foster a culture of sustainability in cities, colleges, and businesses."  The idea is to not only educate people about the positive environmental impact they can make, but to also show them exactly how to implement these strategies and life style choices in their everyday situations.   

From showing individuals simple yet effective methods to be more water efficient, to helping large companies implement money saving, efficiency raising environmental business practices, Sustainable Works has created a variety of programs to assist both corporations and individuals in reducing their carbon footprints and becoming more sustainable.

I recently ran into the Executive Director of Sustainable Works, Barent Roth, at Blogger Beach Clean-Up.  I had the pleasure of meeting Barent earlier this year at the Tomorrow Starts Today 2009 Fundraiser, an annual event that Sustainable Works puts on to help organize, promote, and recognize environmental individuals and organizations in the Los Angeles community.  Barent has an undeniable enthusiasm and obvious passion for making where we live a cleaner greener place.  With someone like him at the helm, Sustainable Works clearly has the potential to make a strong impact in the environmental community, and help reduce the carbon footprint of the individuals and companies it educates and consults.
