Green purchasing is based on the simple premise that every purchase impacts on the environment in some way, and can be defined as choosing to buy products and services that are less damaging to the environment and human health than those you are currently buying.
Essentially, buying green is all about buying smarter, about minimising your resource, energy and water use, reducing your waste, and reducing your carbon footprint, all of which can deliver environmental and financial wins.
