Indianapolis Bar making callfor Green Initiative members
The Indianapolis Bar Association is taking applications for its environmental program, Green Legal Initiative.
Now in its second year, the initiative encourages the legal community to commit to practicing law in ways that are environmentally safe and sustainable.
To participate, legal entities must complete a Green Legal Initiative application. Also, they can evaluate their green status by submitting a Green Business Practice Certification and complying with green business practices in such categories as water and energy conservation, paper reduction and recycling.
Green Legal Initiative members will be recognized by the IndyBar at the annual recognition luncheon and on the bar association’s website.
Applications are due by Sept. 13. For more information, visit www.indybar.org.
