A New CDLE Seminar Series – the Green Bag
We are extremely pleased to announce a new lunch time seminar series. We will be offering sessions every other month on green topics. This series was the inspiration of the Education Subcommittee of CDLE’s Green Team and is sponsored by a grant from the Governor’s Energy Office under its Greening in Government Program. The Governor’s Energy Office is sponsoring these seminars in hopes that they will be a model that can be implemented at other state agencies.

Our first seminar, presented by experts from the Department of Public Health and the Environment, was Sustainable Living and included:

• What is Sustainability?

• Why is living sustainably important?

• What is State Government doing to become more sustainable?

• What can I do at work and home to live more sustainably?

• Energy Use

• Water Use

• Transportation

• Waste Reduction/Recycling

• Paper Reduction

• Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
