There is a need for studies that examine local-regional firms to determine specific green or sustainability initiatives, projects or programs they have undertaken, the costs, the benefits and their return on investment (ROI).
Firms like Hewlett Packard, Sony, Qualcomm, Solar Turbines, NASSCO and others could be chosen as subjects of the research. One possible focus for a team project would be to determine the scope and definition of specific sustainability or Green projects, programs and initiatives, the predicted benefits, the associated costs and the return on investment.
One promising initiative is called the San Diego Regional Sustainability Partnership (SDRSP). The SDRSP is an information sharing, collaborative effort to reduce pollution, enact energy savings, and to improve the quality of life in the San Diego Region. UCSD is a member of this partnership.
