Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The financials reported are departmental purchases at the Campus Computer Store. A very small number of desktop, laptop and monitor purchases are made from other suppliers. For example, the total annual purchases at Futureshop and London Drugs (combined, including IT accessories and non-IT items) for last year was $88,103.

Some LG monitors were not EPEAT qualified until part way through the year, so numbers should improve next year.
