  • More efficient lighting, insulation and use of natural light in buildings
  • Bio-products such as bio-fuels for maintenance equipment
  • Biological control of invasive species
  • Use of “green” cleaning agents
  • Metering devices to limit use of certain products such as fertilizer and cleaners
