Green Purchasing

Consider the environment when making purchasing decisions. Choose goods and services that minimise negative impacts on the environment.

• Look for recycled and reusable goods
• Buy products that are locally produced
• Purchase green cleaning products:
  
  Switch to products that are 100% biodegradable and contain no toxic chemicals. Better still, make your own cleaning products using everyday household products such as bi-carb soda and vinegar that are better for your health, the environment, and save you money.
