NNDA Carson City talk aims to show how businesses can find green by being eco-friendly
When it comes to the environment, a common question among business owners usually boils down to the old paradigm question: "do I protect the environment or the bottom line?"
It doesn't have to be an either/or proposition: You can go green and be profitable, says Chris Lynch, director of the Nevada Business Environmental Program.
Lynch is the keynote speaker Wednesday during the Northern Nevada Development Authority's "Business Edge" monthly meeting. Lynch will present "Finding the Green in Environmental Sustainability" from 6:45 to 8:30 a.m.
at the Carson Nugget Casino, 507 N. Carson Street in Carson City.
As director of the Nevada Business Environmental Program, Lynch has been with the Nevada SBDC since 2010. Mr. Lynch and his consulting team provide assistance to hundreds of business owners and entrepreneurs annually on a broad range of issues including environmental regulatory compliance and permitting, environmental sustainability strategies, green business development, energy efficiency, clean transportation, and environmental energy project funding.
Lynch provides assistance statewide out of BEP’s offices in Reno. He was awarded his Juris Doctor and Master of Studies in Environmental Law from Vermont Law School and received his Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Government from St. Lawrence University.
NNDA’s The Business Edge provides information, issues and trends of interest to the northern Nevada business community. A combination of breakfasts and lunches, these monthly briefings offer opportunities to network with local business executives and management teams, elected and government officials, key workforce development leaders, and important nonprofit organizations.
