Greening the Government: A National Network for Environmental Management Studies Fellowship with the United States Protection Agency’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program

by Cook, Leslie Rae

This paper reports on my National Network for Environmental Management Studies in EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program. This year-long fellowship was primary focused in two areas within the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program: environmentally preferable electronics and green building. Covered in this report is background information about EPA’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program, an overview of my fellowship, and reflections upon my experience at the EPA.
