February 18th 2:30-3:30 PM EST
To begin the new year of webinars, we are starting where the waste begins on our campuses: purchasing.
This webinar explore the process of creating a purchasing policy which is responsible for the environment, supports recycling and matches your waste collection ability. We also will share important information about spreading the news about your purchasing policy and encourage widespread implementation which would support your waste reduction numbers.
Presenters:
Lynn Rubinstein
Executive Director, Northeast Recycling Council (NERC)
Lynn shares information on the new NERC initiative, the Government Recycling Demand Champion program and explain how their strategies can fit on your college campus. Their organization offers free technical assistance and support in purchasing projects, and your campus gets to be recognized for your efforts.

Sara Harrison
Executive Director of Procurement and Payable Services, University of Dayton
