PLANET MEMBERS VOICE OPINIONS USING NEW PLANET BLOG

HERNDON, Va., May 1, 2009 — The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) is pleased to announce the launch of its new blog, VoiceoftheGreenIndustry.org. On a weekly basis, members will be posting articles on this member-driven site. Read what your peers have to say on a variety of PLANET and green industry topics. Here are a couple of peeks at what you’ll find on the blog:

Jeff Korhan, CLP, of True Nature, Inc.®, kicked off the blog in March with the article, “The Spirit of the Green Industry: Everyone Has a Voice,” his take on the benefits of blogging. Korhan writes, “Do you remember a time when you enjoyed writing just for the excitement of interacting with your friends? This is one reason blogging is such a powerful tool in business today. Blogging brings people together and engages them in a conversational environment. It gives everyone a voice.”
Another posting by PLANET board member Phil Allen, Ph.D., CLP, gives the “Ten Steps for a Successful Student Career Days” and also shares his thoughts on being a green industry educator. “I teach in the Landscape Management program at Brigham Young University, and I have THE BEST job in the world! Really. For me, there is no better job than teaching students — students preparing to enter the green industry.”

Check out the blog site often and give your comments on what’s been posted. If there is a particular topic you would like to see someone blog about, contact Heather Finney or call (800) 395-2522.
