it is very important in this day and age to keep an eye on environmental issues—well, two eyes, actually, because there is so much going on that you need to be extra vigilant. In this, our third annual "green"issue, PDR magazine will highlight some of the environmental topics that are of most vital concern to paint retailers. This article covers such topics as low-and zero-VOC product formulations, the efforts of manufacturers to reduce waste, the hazards of "greenwashing" and advice on effective "'green" merchandising strategies. We also have articles about state-mandated paint stewardship (page 41), the EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (page 67) and showcases highlighting many of the ''green'' products in the paint and coatings industries (page 51 and 61).
