Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit Green Team Charter for Sustainable Operations
Vision Statement: The mission of the Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nations forests and grasslands to meet the needs of the present and future generations The Forest Service is committed to efficiently using energy and reducing consumption of resources in our daily operations. The LTBMU Green Team is committed to assisting the Unit to reduce our environmental footprint and increase the sustainability of our operations. Purpose and Goals In collaboration with the Forest Leadership Team (FLT), the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) Green Teams objectives are to raise sustainability awareness among LTBMU employees, highlight and inspire daytoday changes that promote sustainable consumption practices and reduce the size of the LTBMUs ecological footprint. This will be consistent with the goals of: The Climate Change Scorecard as a Guideline for meeting goals. Element 10 of the Scorecard (Sustainable Operations) Appendix G will be used as a guide to address sustainable operations (Addendum 1). Appendix G action categories are: 1) energy conservation: Reduce energy intensity, increase use of renewable energy; 2) water conservation: Reduce potable water intensity; reduce industrial, landscaping, and agricultural water consumption; 3) green purchasing: Ensure 95% compliance by 2015 with acquisition of all 6 categories of green products: energy efficient (Energy Star-qualified, FEMPdesignated, and low standby power), water efficient, environmentally preferable, EPEAT, biobased, recycled content, and non-ozone depleting; 4) fleet and transportation: Reduce fuel consumption, increase use of nonpetroleum fuels, right-size fleet, and increase use of low emission and high fuel economy vehicles; 5) waste prevention and recycling: Divert non-hazardous solid waste in buildings, divert construction and demolition debris, increase recycling; divert compostable and organic materials, purchase uncoated printing and writing paper containing at least 30% post-consumer fiber, employ environmentally sound disposition of excess or surplus electronics; 6) sustainability leadership: Institute a culture of sustainable consumption by implementing actions that integrate environmental footprint reduction principles into all programs, practices and policies throughout the organization. Provide organizational support for Green Teams, sustainable operations training, recognition programs and other activities that foster behavior changes towards a consumption ethic.

Non-Core Members: Additional time may be requested from staff that are not currently on the green team where additional expertise is needed. In order to accomplish Appendix G tasks for the sustainable operations Element 10 of the Climate Change Scorecard recognition of this time is essential. Involvement should be endorsed by supervisor. In addition, membership is open to those with an interest in and enthusiasm for advancing the goals of the Green Team. Membership should be endorsed by supervisor prior to committing. Procedures Develop a work plan in coordination within Forest staff/line for use by Green Team for FLT approved activities to identify member participation in the program of work. Consider cost pool as a funding source during development of the work plan. If cost pool is not available each department will provide a job code for Green Team members to use. Hold monthly webinar viewings which members are encouraged to attend. Schedule meetings for every other month. Give adequate advance notice of meetings to the team members. Prepare an agenda for each meeting Meetings will be open to all employees, and documents will be available via the internal website: http://fsweb.ltbmu.r5.fs.fed.us/staffs/green/ or O drive: O:\NFS\LTBMU\Program\2000NFResourceMgmt\Green Team Special meetings may be initiated at the request of the Core Team or as the occasion may require.
