BG Education Going 'Green'

Not the green associated with the upcoming St. Patrick's day holiday or the luck of the Irish, but BG Education is going 'green'...going paperless. No more printing and assembling binders. You’ll no longer find Michele spreading out the binder assembly line across the BG offices in preparation for each classroom course.

Instead, we will be providing our course materials in two ways:

1. Course confirmation emails will contain information to join the BG community course cadre and all materials will be available on the group page for immediate download and printing.
2. Each participant will receive a BG flash drive on the first day of class that will contain all course materials electronically for their reference.

More important than the incremental labor savings (estimated at about 1 hour/binder), material/printing savings (approximately $40/binder) and the associated shipping costs, we are embracing a more environmentally friendly approach to our materials delivery.

We have already been using electronic material delivery since launching our virtual courses last year. But we will now expand this to all future deliveries of our entire course curriculum.

For clients still stuck in the last century, we will offer to provide a printed binder for an additional fee of $150/binder. A portion of which will be used to purchase carbon offsets for their production.
