Green; even in S.C.

They even know in Columbia, S.C. that Green is good for business. Will the message reach McHenry County?

Will the sheriff's department "go green"? Will it happen before December 1, 2010? Or after?

It's my guess that considerable improvements and economies will happen through the suggestions of the employees of the sheriff's department. When you ask those who work within an organization for their suggestions and you really listen to what they say, often the very best suggestions come right from those who already work there. Not from management; not from high-priced consultants; not from the "experts." All you need to do is ask those who work there.

And often a fresh look, fresh ideas, can mark a major turn-around in an organization. It doesn't have to be like trying to turn an aircraft carrier around in Lake Michigan. Change and improvement can happen a lot faster than that!
