"Like a stone thrown into a pond, every purchase creates a ripple. Unintentionally or intentionally, every decision to purchase causes not one, but multiple transactions affecting the community’s capital, whether social, environmental, cultural, structural, human, or economic."

In this article, David LePage looks at the strides being made in the private, public, and non-profit sectors towards more environmentally, socially, and economically responsible purchasing practices. He concludes by providing examples of businesses and organizations that have effectively blended these purchasing objectives through supportive policies and practices.
