Journey Into Green:
How did Green Biz Evangelist come to be involved in Earth-conscious living?
As a local government official and an environmental regulator, I have imposed some very stringent environmental regulations—from individuals to some of the largest corporations in the world. I felt it was time to ‘practice what I preach’ in my own business. In 2005, Waldeck's became San Francisco's first certified green office supply business and was voted San Francisco's first ever "Green Biz of the Month."
