I apologize for any cross-posting.

NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION
DRIVING SUSTAINABLE MARKETS "TEACH-IN" REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

Whether you are a purchaser, student, professor or facilities manager, you
are invited to register for National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) upcoming
"Teach-In" on green purchasing.

In partnership with the National Association of Educational Buyers (NAEB),
NWF is hosting this course entirely via the Internet. The "Teach-In"
consists of a one-hour "on-demand" Webcast taught by Kevin Lyons, director
of procurement at Rutgers University and author of Buying for the Future.
The Webcast, available online starting April 10, 2002, will cover green
purchasing at higher education institutions focusing specifically on
recycled paper, shade-grown coffee, green energy and sustainably harvested
wood.

As an added incentive, course registrants are eligible to join a series of
six online chats throughout the spring and fall with various green
purchasing experts, including representatives from New Leaf Paper,
University of Colorado- Boulder, Starbucks and other organizations. Support
from the Town Creek Foundation enables us to offer the "Teach-In" to NAEB
and NWF Campus Ecology members at a discounted rate of $25. The rate for
non-members is $40.

In addition to several preferential perks offered to course participants,
the first 50 registrants will receive $5 off a purchase of $60 or more
through National Wildlife Federation's Green Marketplace.
