Grainger hosted a sustainability webinar for customers and partners.
They provided tools and tips for businesses to reduce energy consumption, conserve water and reduce waste.

It was very interesting to see our partners become more involved in this mission.

If you are involved in your community or know someone that works in states, local governments, tribal agencies and NGO, the EPA will be releasing a grant to obtain resources and technical assistance to reduce / improve air pollutions in schools.

This month I have participated in different Sustainability related webinars from industry partners. Sharing some highlights of interesting information I learned.

Steve Ashkin is known as the Father of Green Cleaning, he consults with the EPA on Green Disinfectant Certification and Safer Choice Partner of the Year programs. He also supports US Green Building Council on LEED certification guidelines, as well as being involved with the ISSA Sustainability Committee.

You can see in the image below the definition of Green Products or "Environmentally Preferable" that was made standard in the Presidential Executive Order in 1993.

Every morning while doing dishes, I view out over my back yard into a wetland full of beautiful vegetation and wildlife. I see many ugly pieces of trash sitting in it obscuring the natural beauty. Last week Saturday, I decided to go out into that wetland and clean it up! I collected cans, plastic jugs, plastic planters, empty plastic bottles, golf balls, and a good deal of paper. All in total, about 20 pounds of garbage was collected and removed from the wetland. Not trying to get anything except a better view of our neighborhood wetland!
