Everyday, we purchase food, fuel, electronics, paper products and many other goods. Each of these items has an impact on the environment and the health of people in our own community and all over the globe. Purchasing "green" products helps promote recycling, resource conservation and a sustainable economy while minimizing pollution.

Sarasota County Government is committed to purchasing environmentally preferable products in services in order to protect the people and environment of Sarasota County and the world.
