Power of Purchasing – NERC’s Spring ’09 Webinar Series

NERC will be holding a series of webinars on the Power of Purchasing this spring.  If you would like to know more about incorporating green purchasing into your purchasing decisions, plan on joining us to learn how to:

• Save money by purchasing green products and services,
• Make the connection between purchasing green and climate change,
• Measure the environmental impacts of your green purchases, and
• Find out about the economic impact of purchasing green.

Check back after the New Year holiday for more information about the agenda, or contact Mary Ann Remolador, NERC’s Assistant Director and Event Organizer.

New Guidance Documents Posted for Unwanted Medication Collections

NERC has completed work on the first comprehensive guidance document for community pharmacies for holding unwanted medication collections.  The guidance document – and companion “Quick Guide” – was written with support from the Community Pharmacy Foundation.  It builds on two years of work with community pharmacies throughout the Northeast and Virginia, and the experiences gained with five collections. 

Both documents are available for free download:

• Best Management Practices for Holding Unwanted Medication Collections: A Legal & Safe Approach for Community Pharmacies
• Quick Guide: Holding an Unwanted Medication Collection for Community Pharmacies
