Dallas is largely known across the globe for being big… big money, big business, and big hair (the hair styles made famous by the Dallas TV series)…and is appropriately nicknamed, “Big D”. However, the “Big D” is now known as “Green D” as a result of a three-year ISO 14001 implementation and certification programme across all major city departments, a first in any US municipal organization.

Found an inconsitency in their Internal Audit procedure...

7.5 Non-Conformance Non-fulfillment of an IS014001 :2004 requirement.

7.7 Conformance-meets the requirements of IS014001 :2004 or other stated criteria.

Anybody else see it?

They have great objectives and a real good documentation system....

Many cities, states and schools are going "GREEN" thru LEED. Indoor Air Quality is big. My primary focus is less quality and more of the "GREENESS" of our product.
