"The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river." —Ross Perot

SSRD offers consulting services to corportations, non-profits, municipal programs and government agencies.  After an initial meeting to discuss goals, budget and timeline, an SSRD consultant will work with your team to help your organization meet its needs, and meet the challenge of envisioning those needs in a context of sustainable economics.  We are especially adept at creating environmental initiatives and partnerships.

At the strategic level, SSRD helps your organization to:

• Construct an environmental platform articulating principles, strategies, specific goals and operating plans.
  
• Become a partner in SSRD's innovative projects in education, biofuels and urban sustainability.
• Direct corporate environmental initiatives.
   

At the operations level, SSRD works with clients on "greening" organizational operating practices cost-effectively. Examples include:

• Energy audits and efficiency
• Carbon-offsets
• Waste reduction, recycling and re-thinking
• Packaging systems
• Sustainable materials and components sourcing
• Sustainable manufacturing
• Application of sustainable economics principles, e.g. the “triple bottom line”

• green roofs
• rainwater catchment systems
• solar power and water heating
• permaculture projects

SSRD frequently makes presentations on biofuels, urban sustainability and education to companies, non-profits, arms of government, and business / civic organizations.
