Doing Green Business

We told you about our Green Business Certification in the summer. A few weeks ago, San Francisco’s Dept of the Environment threw a party to celebrate this year’s awardees. The event was held at the War Memorial Building in the Green Room. It was a gorgeous fall evening.

We attended a green marketing seminar with green business marketing experts, and networked with some great local businesses.

It was humbling to be included among some of the long standing SF Small Businesses such as our local Co-Op Other Avneues, Bi-Rite Market, The Green Zebra, RAG Co-Op, and the The Tides Foundations to name a few. It was a very proud moment to see Blas go up on stage and accept our certificate. Even the certificate holders were 100% recycled, made from pallets, reclaimed glass and paper. We got a tote bag full of green supplies, books and organic gourmet truffles (yum!). All in all, the Green Business Program has helped us become better small business owners and socially responsible citizens!
