Subject Guide
Introduction
This guide began as a handout for Go Green and Save Money, a three-hour workshop targeted toward businesses that were interested in going green, but not quite sure where to start. The workshop covered sustainability planning, energy efficiency, and green purchasing, with an emphasis on office spaces. It also supports content from Getting Started with Sustainability, which was presented as a webinar for EPA's Small Business Environmental Assistance Program.The presentations and this guide were developed by Laura L. Barnes, Sustainability Information Curator at the Prairie Research Institute's Illinois Sustainable Technology Center from 1995-2025.
