Business and School
We spend a lot of our time at work! Kids spend a lot of their time at school! We shop for many diverse things that will make us feel more comfortable and help us to be more productive at work and school. Things like computers and software, furniture, paper products, pens and pencils, plus services like event hosting and catering.
There is a lot of opportunity for businesses and schools to become more responsible by reducing waste. Look in these pages for Procurement Policy guidelines already developed specifically to guide businesses in making environmental purchasing decisions.
We have tried to include a range of products and services in this category, but if you have any suggestions, please let us know so we can do our best to include them.
Always remember when shopping:
1. Is it durable, or will it and its packaging end up in the landfill?
2. Is it made and/or available locally, to support our local economy and save transportation costs?
3. Does it contain or emit toxins?
4. Did it require energy to make? Will it require energy to operate/maintain?
