Hello UO Office Managers, Purchasers, and Staff:

Many of you have asked for support GREENING your workplaces.  This Fall the UO Office of Sustainability is offering two courses to help.  The Green Office Certification is filled, but there are still a few spaces remaining in the Sustainable Purchasing course.  Course information is summarized below with more information contained in the attached flyer.   To register, send an email to Steve Mital, UO Sustainability Director, atsmital at uoregon.edu<mailto:smital at uoregon.edu>.


SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING
Through lectures, discussions, and short assignments, this workshop will help office managers understand the key concepts of green purchasing. The course content includes environmental & social impacts of consumption, interpreting eco-labels, using life-cycle assessment, triple-bottom-line decision making, and a follow-up lunch to review a take-home assignment.  (Course Dates: Oct. 31 8:30 - Noon and Nov 8 Noon - 1:30.  Cost $30 includes lunch on day two.)
