Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

We were only able to quantify paper product purchases, because our new vendor ran a report. We are unable to determine expenditures on all cleaning products. During this time period we were switching to a new paper product vendor. Previous expenses on paper products cannot be calculated, but we estimate $3,000 was used for non-green paper products.
