Hi ${first_name},
What another crazy week!  Just when you think things are slowing down, it's the mad rush to get things done before the year finishes.  What are you doing now in your business and what are you planning for 2010? 

December is the month to get moving on next year so that 2010 does not just happen.  It is managed. 

And that way you only lose the one month of holidays and parties, not nearly two months while you wind down for the silly season, go on holiday, then crank up again.

Over 10 years ago, I saw a gap in the marketplace and chose to be different from the other management systems consultants. 

Since then I've been helping my clients save money, reduce stress and also help the environment because of my two major differences.

•    I teach people to understand HOW to manage your own management systems and
•    I show you how keep it really simple and low paper.

So if you want a simple and effective quality, environment or safety management system you know where to come….

or if you have a quality manager who is always moaning, about the number of forms he needs to get right before the next audit, contact me for a clean-out consultation to make your and his life easier.

I do not believe in leaving you with expensive maintenance programs or lots of paper. 

There are several tricks to an effective management system:

•    The fist trick is to keep it simple and low paper so that your life becomes easier, you reduce risk and hassle, you save money and you attract more clients.

•    The second trick is to understand your own system and know how to make your own changes without having ongoing consultancy. 

•    The next is to get all your staff “on board” so that every one agrees that having a simple system is the easiest way to do things.

•    And you need to include simple and effective corrective and preventive action and if you missed last week’s teleseminar, here is the PDF and MP3 audio recording to help you.

So what are you doing now in your business, what are you focused on?  And what are you planning for 2010 in your business? 

You will find that having simple systems will make what ever you are doing easier and December is the month to plan so that next year does not just happen.  Contact me now to discover get your business on track for January

It is time to be implementing the management system that you need most. 
•    For many of you it will be an environmental management system and if you certify it to ISO 14001 or to its baby brother EnviroCert, you will have credibility when you sell to the rapidly growing “green” consumer market.
•    Some of you will want ISO 9001 or quality because you main focus is on your customers, as it should be.
•    Others will want Occupational Safety AS/NZS 4801 in Australia and New Zealand and called OHAS 18001 internationally

And those of you who want the greatest benefits will integrate more than one of these systems and you will be amazed at how simple and cost effective it is using the training modules that I have developed for you.

Did you know that you can have all these systems fully integrated but you can choose to be certified in just one system if that is more cost effective for you?

And don’t panic about it being too expensive because you can also choose Do-It Yourself courses that include all the same training and help as the coached courses but without the telephone coaching.  The phone coaching is still available if you need it of course but you would only pay when you need it.

Go to http://www.enviroaction.com.au/what-training-can-i-do.html  to find out about all these courses or phone 08 8311 5232 to make an appointment to talk to me about your needs

You will save money, reduce your emissions become more efficient and attract more “green” consumers when you have a certified environmental management system.  Contact me to get a fre`e DVD of a recent talk explaining how to make money by being environmentally sustainable posted to you today.

Comparing emissions around the world

Here is a list of both total emissions and also per capita (per head) emissions.  In my opinion, it is the per person emissions that really matter although not everyone agrees.  It makes interesting reading .................

Where to now In Australia?

In the environmental field we have interesting times ahead politically and the possibility that something more sensible may emerge.
Meantime I suggest ignoring the “pollys” and concentrating on ways to reduce your own emissions because that will also save costs in your business.

The fundamental problem with the ETS/CPRS is that it is all about buying and selling licences to pollute.  And the largest polluters have their permits discounted.

What we really need to do is waste less. .....................

It’s culture more than attitude that emits carbon

In Australia, America and Canada we have big spaces, big houses, longer commutes, big fridges, and more than one, clothes dryers etc.  Per capita personal greenhouse gas emissions are three to four times as high as in many European countries.   And the difference is cultural. ..............

Business Council Wants Certainty

The Business Council of Australia  president Graham Bradley, who supported the failed emissions trading scheme backed by ousted Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, vowed to keep working with both sides of politics “despite recent developments”.

Where and Why of Emission Trading

Pollution permit-trading began in the USA in 1977 with amendments to their Clean Air Act and was formalised with their new Clean Air Act of 1990 which introduced a “cap and trade” system of “allowances” for power companies that burn coal to emit sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide – the “acid rain” compounds – with the caps gradually reducing over time.

The 1990 US Clean Air Act was adapted for the 1997 conference on climate change in Kyoto, which committed ratifying nations to emissions trading in 2005.  Interestingly only Europe actually did it, even though the idea of emissions trading actually began in the United States.
