Initiative Title	Environmental Purchasing
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Environmental Purchasing - Continue to find ways to support sustainability on campus by researching green products, promoting recycling, and seeking cost saving measures to reduce the college's environmental impact. We no longer use styrofoam cups or plates on campus. Paper products are stocked in the warehouse. A pilot program was tested - spring 2011 on the use of 100% recycled paper. This product worked well in our copy machines; however, this product is more costly than 30% recycled paper that we currently buy. We would like to reduce usage and implement the purchase of 100% recycled paper.
