Green Procurement |
Almost everything created or purchased has a life cycle that |
impacts the environment from the moment of production to |
the final disposal stage. By practicing and encouraging the |
purchasing of environmentally-friendly or non-toxic products, |
the city will reduce the amount of toxic or hazardous material |
introduced into neighborhoods, waterways, and landfills. In |
addition, the increased use of products derived from renewable |
or local sources decreases pressure on finite resources and |
stimulates the growth of a greener economy. |
GoalS: |
• Increase use of non-hazardous and environmentallyfriendly products in government maintenance, |
operations, permitted concessionaires/vendors and |
special events. |
• Promote decreased use of hazardous, toxic, nonrecyclables or renewable goods community-wide. |
