GREENR (Global Reference on the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources) is a new online resource that offers authoritative content on the development of emerging green technologies and discusses issues on the environment, sustainability and more.

APL has decided to purchase this database for one year. This decision was made because GREENR makes a tremendous effort to bring together not only matters of environmental concern, but couples these with political, economic, and social issues. Even the job market is included. And this resource is not available anywhere else in local school libraries or in other V-CAT libraries.
