But, by using remanufactured print and fax cartridges consumers save money and help the environment.

"How Business Can Build a Sustainable Future"
With Keynote Speakers:
Gary Hirshberg, CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt and
Woody Tasch, Chairman and CEO of the Investors' Circle
Presented in partnership with Sustainable Step New England
Join business leaders and change agents in learning how local businesses can take the lead in creating a socially and environmentally sustainable economy. The businesses that thrive in the 21st Century will be those that have the ability to adapt and innovate in the face of a rapidly changing environment.
Leading businesses have already found ways to deliver products and return a profit while also minimizing their environmental impacts and providing positive benefits to their communities, customers, and other stakeholders. They recognize that asking the strategic question of what it takes to be 'sustainable' often leads to innovation, cost savings, improved morale, and enhanced public reputation.
The conference will have an interactive format with a mix of inspirational speakers, large group conversations, and small group discussions which will offer participants opportunities to:
Discover simple principles that can be practically applied to guide your organizational decisions to be sustainable
Learn from local business leaders who are designing businesses of the future
Engage in valuable networking opportunities with peers
Experience and tour a LEED-certified Green building
