(ii)Draw up an Organisational Chart for managing environmental issues,
ensuring that there is a clear procedure for reporting. Such a chart would
designate at least one member of Management Committee and/or Board
of Directors as 'stewards' of environmental initiatives. Ensure that the
critical role of volunteers is reflected in the Organisational Chart (see next
item).
"Green Team"
of volunteers
Management Committee
Vice President
Administration/Finance
OR Facilities
Environmental
Coordinator
(Staff)
Environment/
Sustainability
Committee
Accountability and ultimate responsibility for environmental issues and
initiatives would rest with a vice president or equivalent (ideally
Administration/Finance or Facilities) who would report regularly to the
Management Committee and the Board. A staff environmental coordinator
would perform day-to-day tasks, including co-ordinating a
volunteer "Green Team", and would report to one of the vice presidents
named above via the appropriate manager, or directly if necessary. An
Environment/ Sustainability Committee would include several key vice
presidents, members from such departments or committees as purchasing,
facilities and finance, the environmental co-ordinator, and several "Green
Team" volunteers.
(iii) Create a Green Team category for volunteers and actively recruit for this
role. Allow volunteers to choose the Green Team as the group they would
like to work with. Give these volunteers the opportunity to contribute ideas
to the planning process as well as during the Games.
(iv)Carry out an environmental audit (i.e. energy and water consumption and
waste generation) of facilities and work with provincial and local agencies
and utilities to identify opportunities for energy and water conservation,
waste management and reducing the risk of hazardous waste
contamination.
