Environmental Protection Agency’s GreenScapes Alliance

About GreenScapes

The GreenScapes Alliance is designed to help preserve natural resources and prevent waste and pollution by encouraging companies, government agencies, and other entities to make more holistic decisions regarding waste generation and disposal and the use of the land, water, pesticides, and energy. By focusing on the "4 Rs"—reduce, reuse, recycle, and rebuy—this program can help improve both an organization's bottom-line and the environment. GreenScapes will promote practices and products that still meet users’ needs but have better environmental profiles than current methods. GreenScapes will develop resources such as technical assistance publications, workshops, and a Web site. Organizations can participate in GreenScapes as Partners and/or Allies:

Partners include companies, agencies, and others who, in joining the program, commit to undertaking a minimum of two GreenScapes activities.

Allies include professional groups, trade associations, research organizations, and product manufacturers or marketers who, in joining the program, will work with their affiliated organizations to promote greater use of GreenScapes activities.
