I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's like people are finding out their carbon footprint and then getting rewarded for it, if it's good enough. What an odd concept. Is this something you would include on your resume? The only bone I have to pick is the CEO's quote; she says that PineMark is like LEED, but for people. LEED is for people. LEED certainly applies to buildings, but people become LEED accredited to work on LEED projects and to be knowledgeable about green building. What an interesting idea. PineMark seems to go a little beyond the carbon footprint calculator but stops short of LEED. This is a very interesting concept. I’m not sure how I feel about it.
