Awareness of global warming and the impact we have on our environment is steadily increasing every month. We are all trying as individuals and families to reduce our carbon footprint by recycling, installing energy efficient appliances, and buying organic produce. Now non-profit organizations are jumping on board and doing what is necessary to protect the environment!

Organizations, such as Green Nonprofits, are working together with other non-profit organizations to help them green their workplace. Their mission: to create and support the global movement that educates, assists, and certifies Nonprofits/NGOs in becoming environmentally friendly. The Environmental Protection Agency is rewarding grants to those non-profits that will use the money to institute environmental education programs.

Most non-profits use printing as a source of advertisement and promotion of their organization. “The printing industry is the single largest air polluter and the third largest consumer of fossil fuels in the world” says Renourish Founder and University of Illinois Design Professor Eric Benson. Techsoup, a technology place for non-profits, shares with us a guide to green printing!
