GreenGuardian.com was launched in 2003 to help citizens living in the
six-county Twin Cities metro area (the counties of Anoka, Carver,
Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington) understand the urgent need to
make environmentally-responsible purchasing and disposal decisions in
their daily lives. By giving citizens the information needed to make
these decisions, we can reverse the ever-growing waste stream and
protect the environmental health of the six-county Twin Cities metro
area.
GreenGuardian.com is sponsored by the metro region's Solid Waste
Management Coordinating Board (SWMCB), comprised of the six member
counties, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The SWMCB was
formed in 1990 to increase the efficiency and environmental
effectiveness of the region's solid waste management system.
