buyers: Last chance! Green Purchasing Training

[Lynne Harrell]

Dear UO faculty and Staff,

Many of you have asked for support GREENING your workplaces.  Back just this one time, the UO Office of Sustainability is offering the Green Purchasing Training course to help.
Through lectures, discussions, and short assignments, this workshop will help office staff 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: May 1  8:30 - Noon and May 8 Noon - 1:30.  Cost $30 includes lunch on day two.)

See the attached flyer for more information.   To register, send an email to Steve Mital, UO Sustainability Director, by Thursday, April 25 at  smital at uoregon.edu<mailto:smital at uoregon.edu>.
