Dozens of law firms, from large Boston firms to solo practitioners in the Berkshires, have signed the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Lawyers Environmental Pledge to implement the MBA Green Guidelines since its release last month.
The pledge and guidelines, compiled and written by the MBA’s Energy and Environment Task Force, are a part of the MBA Lawyers Eco-Challenge launched in September by MBA President David W. White Jr. The initiative is being run in partnership with the Conservation Law Foundation in Boston.
By signing the pledge, lawyers become Pledge Partners and agree to adhere to the guidelines, which offer detailed sugges-tions for making offices environmentally friendly. To view the pledge and guide-
lines, visit www.massbar.org/ecochallenge.
Now that the pledge and guidelines have been shared with the legal community, the task force is spreading the word about the project.
White spoke about the Eco-Challenge at the Going Green Expo at the Bayside Expo Center in Boston on Feb. 2 and 3. Task force members were on hand to share information about the Eco-Challenge and answer questions. For more information on the expo, visit www.goinggreenexpos.com/.
Weekly tips based on the guidelines are also being published in each edition of Lawyers Weekly on the Practice Page and in the MBA’s Lawyers e-Journal.
