Chinese Summary/中文概要： 二十一世紀的今天，越來越多的企業開始逐漸意識到綠色環保在商業競爭當中所扮演的重要作用，於是，圍繞著可持續性發展這一主旨，眾多推陳出新的綠色設計點子在各個商業領域得到了廣泛的運用。
全球在以保護環境為主的法案相繼通過之後，企業在兼顧自身發展的同時又必須要重新對原先的經營模式進行一番審視。在這一問題上，無論是否出於自願，在市場因素的驅使之下，它們勢必要進行一場巨大的嶄新變革。換言之，要重視綠色環保，也更加要尋找獲利的機會。
為了迎接未來商場的挑戰，過去的經營模式已無法應對時下的環境問題。因為環保問題不僅涉及到了人們所居住辦公的樓宇建築，同時還對人們的工作方式、交流溝通以及生產服務提出了更高的要求。
本書中，作為一名在可持續性發展的辦公環境領域以及商業的經營策略方面擁有豐富經驗的專家，本書作者趕在這場巨大的變革發生之前，向眾多的企業們分析並展示了，如何在對辦公環境進行綠色革新的問題上集思廣益、推陳出新。
這些從實踐中提煉而出的環保方案，由如下眾多極具成本效益的革新組成：
- 家庭辦公的運用
- 合理控制通勤成本
- 在辦公場所擴大自然光源的利用面積，從而達到節能的目的
作者將向眾多企業管理者們展示如何平穩有效地推行上述的策略。而在關鍵問題上，更是揭示出，環保型企業如何成功做到成本的削減、產量的提升，人力資源的補充與控制，股東利益的擴充與增值，以及保護我們息息相關的生態環境。(AW & CL)

"A must-read for any company, regardless of its place on the green spectrum. The Green Workplace includes great information for companies just beginning to green their offices or for those who are further along in the process. >From alternative work options to the greening of actual buildings and spaces, The Green Workplace has it all!"---Alicia R. Martin, Sustainability Manager, Sprint

"Leigh surfaces the many challenges businesses may face in their quest to ’go green.’ Her passion for the environment comes through with each turn of the page. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand environmental issues in the workplace, and how we can begin replacing destructive behaviors with practices that will ensure future generations enjoy the same pleasures we experience today."---Randy Knox III, Sr. Director of Global Workplace Solutions, Adobe Systems Incorporated

"This book is a good compilation of the issues facing corporations today. Fortunately, there are also examples of solutions that have been implemented. Ms. Stringer recognizes that there is no silver bullet solution, but does a good job of highlighting some of the silver buckshot that can help businesses improve their ecological footprint. We must recognize the challenges and change our behavior in a controlled manner before it becomes imposed on us in a harsh manner. The recent financial crises should have taught us this lesson--there is no bailout planet available for our ecosystem."---Paul Westbrook, Sustainable Development Manager, Texas Instruments

"This is one of the most useful books I have ever read—Leigh Stringer has taken on ’green’ in the most holistic of ways. To inform, educate and inspire while at the same time reeling off fact and after fact, and idea after idea, is no mean achievement, but that she did so in a way that is eminently readable is a wonderful bonus. Stringer’s passion and enthusiasm for the subject is infectious; no contemporary business organization should be without this book."---Chris Hood, Program Manager, the HP Workplace

"Leigh Stringer hits the nail squarely on the head with The Green Workplace. Anyone designing a green building without full consideration of the people effect is missing the boat. Stringer shows how you can have a fully green building, highly energy-efficient, with a healthy and productive workforce, if we’re willing to rethink our assumptions and current practices. It’s never ‘either/or’ but always ‘both/and’ that we need to consider in designing and operating our workplaces."---Jerry Yudelson, author of The Green Building Revolution
