On Monday, April 8th, I spent one hour doing research for Lisa. She had asked me via email to use the site http://ecoscorecard.com to enter the names of the companies that I've been endlessly listing, to see which were more sustainable, or "eco-friendly" than the others. Out of about 30 brand names I looked up, only one was certified through the site. For Gallagher, that might mean making a lot of new connections, if they choose to become more "green" (my goal is to help them become more green by the time I leave). Lisa has told me that in future projects, she'd like to see sustainability take a more prevalent role in the way Gallagher chooses its materials.
I have yet to explore ecoscorecard further; there is more information about what is or is not sustainable there that could truly benefit my project and future actions. However; I might need to download software for digital design before I can see ecoscorecard's full potential. Since Cal Poly's City and Reigonal Planning department requires I have that anyway, I might get a program so I can design like a professional in my spare time (joking).
One more hour leaves me with 11.5 hours completed. At around 4:00 today, I'll be going over to Lisa's office again, to do more cataloging.
