Benefits from Purchasing Green purchasing collection manufacturing Creates recycling markets Saves energy Conserves resources Saves money Saves landfill space Reduces pollution Creates jobs Provides incentive for manufacturers to alter processes Promotes environmental stewardship Purchasing recycled products completes the recycling loop!

GREEN AGENDA WHAT ARE THE GREEN LAWS LEARN WHO ARE THE ‘GREEN POLICE’ INCREASE THE MARKET FOR “GREEN COMMODITIES AND/OR SERVICES” WHAT IS THE FINE FOR NOT BEING “GREEN”

What Is Green Purchasing Purchase of products and services that conserve our precious resources, such as:  Recycled products (i.e. CPG items)  Energy Star and energy-efficient products  Alternative fuel vehicles/alternative fuels  Biobased products  Non-ozone depleting substances  Environmentally Preferable Products (EPP)  Low or non-toxic or hazardous chemicals  Electronics with environmental preferable attributes (i.e. Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool – EPEAT)

Why Green? Conserve natural resources and minimize our environmental “footprint” Create markets for recycled content and agricultural materials Create jobs Save energy Long Term - Save $$$/Avoid costs (ROI) Reduce pollution Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Reduce liability Legal requirements 4
