Increase Green Purchasing

Our goal is a 15% increase in green purchasing by FY12.

How you can help

• Look for green alternatives to the items you currently use
• Choose items from the green catalogue, once it is developed
• Purchase reusable items instead of disposables
• Explore the possiblility of extending the life of your existing furniture, equipment or materials instead of replacing with brand new
