A few weeks ago I posted an article about law firms going green. If you want to take a look, here it is. Well today I came across a blog that referenced a guide for law firms that are committed to going green. The guide, appropriately titled The Green Guide for Lawyers, can be downloaded for free from this website. It was put together by the Meritas Leadership Institute as a roadmap for lawyers and law firms who want to put in place the initiatives that it takes to start to be a green firm.

The document divides initiatives up into three tiers, and then categorizes them under the headings People, Planet, and Profit. It uses a Triple Bottom Line approach for law firms to measure their sustainability and environmental consciousness. I would recommend a quick read through of the guide to any lawyer who may think it is necessary to start to go green. It is not as hard as you may think.
