I learned so many things from our guests, and today is another great example. Carolina Ortega, VP of Sustainability at Milestone Environmental, was a fantastic resource for our listeners. There are so many regulations, and it is almost impossible to keep up. The penalties for not keeping up would be worth companies visiting with her before the auditing started.
