Wednesday 27 October 2010 - 7.00 pm Pacific
On this week’s show we have two guests who are front and center of Green Teams in health care.
Dr. Joan D. Plisko of Maryland Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (MD H2E) – a grant funded initiative housed at the University of Maryland School of Nursing. Dr. Plisko has received several awards, including the the EPA Region 3 Award for Environmental Achievement.
Colleen Cusick is the co-founder and current chair of the Green Team for The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Her role in the green team includes consulting with manufacturers on product development, packaging improvements, and product safety.
The enormous interest in Green Teams made us consider this as a two part series. We set the stage last week on the show with what they look like from those managing facilities. This week, we’ll address what the structure of a Green team looks like, and ask our guests about the roles team members play.

If you have a question, you can reach us three ways:
On next week’s show we’re going to pry open the big topic of Green Teams.
If you take a look around, you’ll see that there are many businesses with task forces that are looking at reducing waste, improving efficiencies, making sustainability recommendations up, down and sideways in the organization. Every major college has a Green Team. Local and federal institutions are onto this. (Check out Executive order 13514)
We want to know who in your organization are wearing the green hats, where they are at, what have they run up against, and much more.
One of our big guests on the show will be Dani Glaser, who is the founder of Green Team Spirit, a consulting group which helps businesses; governments and non-profits go green using an interdisciplinary team approach. She’s had 30 years runway behind her to do this, having been in marketing, communications, technology, advocacy, non-profit development and research.
If you or someone you know is on a green team, we’d like to know. Connect with us at @your3bl or email us at contact@your3bl.com
