IT PAYS TO BE GREEN

Green Business is a widely used term that has come to mean taking into consideration the social, economic and environmental aspects of our actions, as well as recognizing the inter-relationships between these aspects. Green Business includes protecting our environment and preserving natural habitats and biodiversity, but it is also about promoting a healthy and engaged society and thriving along-side a thriving economy. Green Business requires balancing opportunities and constraints, and taking a long-term view so that we are able to reach our maximum potential now and future generations are able to do the same.

Green Business Committee Goals:
  1. Promote, support and educate Chamber members on the appropriate balance between the economic, environmental and social aspects of the community to ensure sustainability for current and future generations.
  2. Conduct an Eco Tour for the Fall 2020.
  3. Organize the Green Business Expo 2020 to coincide with Earth Month activities in Carlsbad – expanding our attendance by combining the event with the CBAD Happy Hour in the month of April and changing venues with higher foot traffic.
COMMITTEE OFFICERS:
“I help businesses everyday through my job at Waste Management to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Rethink what steps they can take to reduce their carbon footprint, while helping their bottom line.  Being involved in the Green Business Committee allows me to collaborate with others to assist Chamber members realize their sustainable goals and manage their bottom lines.”
Lori Somers, ChairWaste Management
“I participate in the Green Business Committee because I take pride in running an environmentally conscious business. The more I can learn about how to operate a green business and how I can help other business owners to do the same is truly impactful for me. I also appreciate having direct contact with the city of Carlsbad’s Climate Action Planning team because they are also members of this committee.”
Marcy Browe, SecretaryMarcy Browe Photography
