Tips for 'Greening' Your Nonprofit Practices
In conclusion, Zaleski stressed that nonprofits work with their vendors to select greener materials, formats and production processes. She recommended asking vendors the following questions:
- Are you FSC certified, or do you have other certifications that represent sound environmental practices?
- Do you use soy or vegetable-based inks?
- Does your house stock include options with recycled content?
- What types of recycling programs are run through your plant? Paper, solvents, plates, etc.
- Do you have any special shipping practices that cut down inefficiencies and waste?
- If you're an envelope printer, what options do you have for window material that are recyclable or biodegradable?
