How do you choose an environmental consultant?

What defines "green" is so broad, although the concept is not new, it is very trendy and often without definition. When looking at references from a consultant ask for a resume as well as a client/project list.

Often times you'll find folks or companies claiming to be a green consultant because they took a 1-2 week long course. Certifications are great, especially for continuing education reasons... but look for a degree in Natural Sciences AND Business Management. Only recently have universities started to offer "green" degrees, so I would not consider them 100% proven. It all comes down to experience AND education.
