As demand for bottled water continues to grow, water sources need to be carefully identified, developed, and managed to ensure their sustainability. At the same time, growing community and environmental concern has made siting new sources increasingly challenging. To address this, NWNA has developed a first-of-its-kind Siting Framework — a collaborative process to encourage clear, consistent outcomes along with transparent engagement with communities as potential new water sources are identified, evaluated, designed, and brought online.
Marty Spitzer, senior director of climate and renewable energy for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has been a GreenBiz partner since the days that it was a printed newsletter. Similarly, he has partnered with the Renewable Energy Buyers’ Alliance (REBA) since its “humble beginnings with maybe 13 people sitting around a table, thinking about what’s possible,” he said. By its summit in September 2017, REBA had 400 members attendees, some of them Fortune 500 companies looking for ways to ease large-scale corporate renewable energy purchases.
