Abstract
The environmental handprint is the good we do for the environment. It builds on the concept of the environmental footprint. The potential of the handprint is unlimited. One´s personal handprint can be magnified by influencing the actions of others and can be accumulated over a career. The handprint´s positive feedback harnesses the power of creativity, idealism and profit. Case studies relating to wind power, solar cookers, and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) illustrate the development of collective handprints.
