Shawn Postera 10/27/2016 1:52 PMThe challenge for me is logging in, but I like it. I could bring it into a practice. It would be great to do a challenge like this at a conference. I could a 2-3-4 day conference running a challenge like this especially if it incorporated sustainable practices. -
Shawn Postera 10/27/2016 1:00 PMI took the time to write a letter in the form of a forum post to other government jurisdictions concerning the importance of processing E-waste with a company that practices e-steward standards or R2 certification. Of course I pointed out that e-steward is a higher standard and preferred because the waste doesn't leave our Country and many other reasons. -

Shawn Postera 10/25/2016 9:45 AMSo today I shared with my co-workers the Green Cleaners Lunch and Learn information! I am hoping that more than one person attends! I also reminded everyone that we could make our own cleaners for our desks and it would improve indoor air quality and be cheaper for our organization to purchase! We could purchase in bulk!!!
