 Intersection of Policy and Markets The Healthy Building Network works directly with municipal governments to create purchasing policies that avoid materials that are responsible for the worst environmental health impacts. While governments must protect the public health, they also must be efficient and effective with tax revenue. In the tension between these often opposing directives, HBN finds an opportunity by helping purchasing departments use their large scale purchasing power to drive down the cost for safer alternatives. This in turn makes these materials more available to all. Additionally, these market dynamics demonstrate private industry's ability to meet regulatory challenges with innovative solution that increase both economic and environmental vitality. This hybrid model is a win - win for everyone! Municipal Purchasing Links
