The webcasts will address ways that both the public and private sectors can utilize clean practices and technologies to generate green jobs and offer an efficient time-to-value return. Investing Stimulus Dollars in Energy Efficiency Creates Green Jobs with Sustainable Returns In the first of HydroPoint's Green Recovery webcasts on Friday, May 1, 2009, at 2 p.m. EDT/ 11 a.m. PDT, Miranda Anderson, director of corporate affairs for Sustainability at Wal-Mart Stores will discuss the opportunities offered by the requirement in the recent stimulus package that 20 percent of funds address green programs. This requirement means a likely surge in green jobs and clean tech investments with new programs in the public and private sectors. Ms. Anderson will discuss how Wal-Mart Stores is spurring investment in clean technologies by "greening" its supply chain to increase competitiveness, reduce costs and develop green jobs in the workforce. Minimize Drought-Related Risk and Maximize Economic and Environmental Returns through Smart Water Management On Friday, May 8, 2009 at 2 p.m. EDT/11 a.m. PDT, Sharon Thompson, vice president of marketing for HydroPoint along with Joy A. Clarke-Holmes, director of the Local Government Market Solutions, Building Efficiency for Johnson Controls, Inc. and Laura Shenkar, principal and founder of The Artemis Project will examine the bottom-line effects of widespread droughts. Two-thirds of the U.S. is threatened with droughts and while the typical water agency response is to raise rates and impose fines, attendees will learn how this business threat can be an opportunity for sustainable returns with Smart Water Management and Sustainability 2.0 practices. Thriving in the Green Economy: Become a Smart Water Manager with HydroPoint Green jobs will be instrumental in the new economy, and the landscape industry will be no exception. On Friday, May 15, 2009 at 2 p.m. EDT/11 a.m. PDT, Buddy Murrow, vice president for the North Carolina Green Industry Council will join Chris Manchuck, vice president of channel sales for HydroPoint to discuss how wasteful irrigation practices put landscapers' livelihoods at risk. Transforming businesses into Smart Water Management companies will reap financial and environmental benefits. "HydroPoint's Green Recovery webcast series furthers the discussion about how we can stimulate our economy through energy-efficient practices and technologies," said Sharon Thompson, vice president of Marketing for HydroPoint.
