SLA: Knowledge to Go Green
SLA has announced their commitment to go green starting this year. The theme is "SLA: Knowledge to Go Green." They have already begun efforts at Headquarters, noted in the press release (a copy is on the Announcements page). At the Leadership Summit, there were no handouts. Everything was linked online; people could download and print a copy for themselves. Imagine how much paper that saved!
For more information about the initiative, go to the Announcements page.
Also look out for opportunities to discuss how SLA Boston can go green and how we can encourage our workplaces and homes to go green.
