The way institutions and offices conduct business has an enormous impact on the economy, and the environment. Responsible purchasing by institutions shifts the market toward greener products. Greening your work environment saves money and resources while keeping employees healthier.  Companies that build environmental sustainability into the spreadsheet insure a better future for themselves... and everyone else.

The Responsible Purchasing Network (RPN), a program of the Center for a New American Dream, provides resources for institutional purchasers to buy products that improve human health and the environment, and create more of a market for those products. Now you can give the gift of responsible purchasing resources to the institution of your choice with an RPN Membership. Whether you are a parent concerned about the cleaning products used in your child’s school or a resident of a town that has a large fleet of automobiles, RPN can help make green purchasing information available to your faith-based community, school, or local government.
