Drawing from thousands of interactions with grocery store managers and sustainability experts, Peter Cooke details the ways in which grocery stores can be more energy-efficient - and increase profit. This talk compiles vast data points with the simple fact that we go to the grocery store, on average, twice a week. As consumers, we can help facilitate the sector’s transformation if we practice the straightforward exercises presented here. Peter Cooke is responsible for developing and managing Manomet’s Grocery Stewardship Coalition, the leading sustainability platform for the grocery sector. He has performed sustainability audits for dozens of businesses sectors, including more than 700 grocery stores nationwide. He is ISO 14001 Lead Auditor certified, Commercial Energy Auditor trained, Building Operator Certified, and Hazardous Waste Operations certified. Peter teaches at Antioch University, University of Southern Maine, and Tufts University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
