Municipalities are facing a new reality – diminishing resources and increasing demand for services. Managing storm water and land use through Low Impact Development (LID) is “smart growth.” Converting Brownfields to Greenfields is another way to improve the local economy and quality of life, and attracting new “clean tech” industries, and “green collar jobs” as non- residential tax ratables are some ways that Andrew J. Willner, Inc. can provide counsel.
Businesses have and unprecedented opportunity to increase their bottom line, and leave a smaller footprint on the Earth. Andrew J. Willner, Inc. can provide a direction away from the traditional relationship that usually pits the environment against the economy. Instead of pursuing economic activities and distribution as primary, and looking at the consumption of natural resources and the impact on the environment as incidental, businesses that wish to compete in the new economy will put the environment first. Businesses must commit to conserving resources, including habitat resources, It also means including the environmental or “external costs” of an economic activity as integral to that activity and not treating those costs as incidental or an afterthought – nor as clean up or mitigation.
Non-profit organizations are dealing with more difficult and expensive issues as government agencies do less. Using the strategic planning, board and program development, management, communication, and fundraising expertise provided by Andrew J. Willner, Inc. will enable organizations to operate more efficiently and achieve mission objectives.
