intern look into how various
CDFIs encourage their commercial borrowers to be more eco-friendly
and eco-efficient. Thanks to those who responded to a request for info
on the listserv or spoke with us by phone. We have put our learnings
into a brief white paper; the paper is an annotated list of practices at
eleven CDFIs and includes web resources. BTW, based on all this,
Self-Help is piloting a simple two page insert into our commercial loan
application packet, designed to educate our borrowers about these
issues. This will be a first step for us.</span></font></div>
