Is the Naples Green Business Partnership  Program Coming Soon? (or soon enough?)

Excerpted form the article "Model Behavior" in GulfShore Business by Beth Luberecki

"...Sarasota County has established the Green Business Partnership, which has formalized the process for businesses to become green-certified, and the City of Naples is among the municipalities looking to Sarasota’s program as a model.
    More than 100 Sarasota County businesses, from insurance companies and hospitals to restaurants and real estate agencies, have joined the partnership, a voluntary program rolled out in 2006. It was initiated through a $150,000 grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection plus $69,000 in additional county funds.
    To participate, companies must meet partnership standards for their industry, which have been developed through existing resources as well as meetings with businesses, the public and environmental specialists. They include such requirements as having a county hazardous-waste inspection of their facility, setting up recycling plans for everything from paper and plastic to toner and paint, and implementing water-conservation measures."

What's your opinion ...should Naples be  pushing hard to get up to speed and be accelerating it's plans to follow suit? Let us know your opinion and what you think could be done to put this program into place sooner than later?
