The King County Environmental Purchasing Program was recently honored with the 2002 Sustainable Community Outstanding Leadership Award for Government. The award was given to us by the local nonprofit group, Sustainable Seattle.
Sustainable Seattle is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and improving the long-term health and vitality of the Puget Sound region. In 2001, Sustainable Seattle launched its annual awards, which are presented to organizations, individuals, businesses and government agencies in recognition of their contribution to sustainable development in the Puget Sound region.
King County Environmental Purchasing Program received the Government award, one of six categories.
Other winners who were honored for promoting sustainability include:

In addition to an award certificate, a public sculpture has been created in honor of the awardees. It is an interactive piece, teaching about sustainability principles and everyday actions.
Environmental Purchasing Program
The King County Environmental Purchasing Program assists County agencies in implementation of King County Executive Policy CON-7-1-2, which requires agencies to use recycled and other environmentally preferable products wherever practicable.
The program assembles information about these products and makes it available to specific agency users who can evaluate them and develop applications in County projects.
These environmental purchasing bulletins contain information about the results of product evaluations and other accomplishments of County agencies. We hope this information will help you find ways to use recycled materials in the work of your agency and that you will contact us if we can help you with further information or if you have suggestions.
