Managing a Water Crisis - Step Two
Mobilize Your Staff, Advisors and Local Coalition Leaders

Build your list of potential supporters by asking yourself the following questions:

  • How many people do I employ?
  • How many people do the regional green industry businesses collectively employ?
  • How many are direct and indirect jobs? (Consider garden center staff, construction workers, administrative and logistics personnel, trucking company employees and third party contractors that perform special services).

Then calculate your overall contribution to the commercial tax base in your area and find someone who can run estimated figures on the following:

  • income tax contribution of the direct and indirect jobs
  • sales tax generated by the purchase of your goods and services.
