Environmental Education and Awareness
The AbilityOne Program has made environmental education and awareness about the requirements of Executive Order 13101 part of its educational mission. Through training, exhibits, and effective labeling, AbilityOne relates the core issues of EO 13101 to its federal customers.
Training
Besides including the requirements of EO13101 in training materials presented to Federal Purchase Card holders, AbilityOne continues to work with the EPA and DOI in developing "Green Guidance" and training for AbilityOne-associated nonprofit agencies. "How to Green Products" training has already been presented to various NIB and NISH agency representatives. A "How to Green" training program for custodial services is also in the works for nonprofit agencies that perform building cleaning/ maintenance services.
