NHCTF is Going GREEN!
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
-- Native American proverb
At the New Hampshire Children's Trust Fund we recognize that building strong families and healthy communities means caring for our earth. We know that our choices can either positively or negatively affect the environment around us. We know that everytime we make a purchase we cast a vote for or against the environment.
In an effort to become a more environmentally friendly office, NHCTF has begun using 100% recycled copy paper and a variety of office supplies using post-consumer recycled content.We are moving to a paperless e-newsletter and have stepped up our recycling efforts. There are many terrific tips on the internet for greening your office. We also encourage you to explore the internet for valuable tips for families.
