An important step in purchasing environmentally preferable products for an agency or business would be management support that could come from adoption of an agency-wide or corporate Environmentally Preferable Policy. Our website offers a Model Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Policy that provides a menu of purchasing policy options. Alameda County local public agencies and large businesses may contact us directly about this policy or about buying EPP products by contacting Rachel Balsley or Debra Kaufman at (510) 614-1699. The vendor resources cited above in question #8 will also be useful to businesses and agencies. A few other resources may include: • Building Green, Inc., provides over 1,800 environmentally preferable building materials, specifications and resources in the GreenSpec Directory. Practical information on sustainable design can be found in Environmental Building News (EBN), a subscription-based newsletter. For more information visit, www.BuildingGreen.com. •
