A few months back I had gotten information from folks up in Manchester about the Greening your business plan it will be rolled out over the summer. I believe the intention is not for businesses to hire students to do the audits, but for the students to visit their schools, sponsors and local businesses and offer to do the audit for free. There are two reasons for doing this, 1. To make the teams more visible in their communities and to ensure that more people are being as green as possible. 2. From what I understood the fundraising part would be that teams would ask for a percent or donation of the money saved from the audit.

We wont really know for sure unless someone from FIRST tells gives us more information or we wait and see in the summer.
