FROM: Robin Bedell-Waite, Hazardous Waste Reduction Manager
SUBJECT: April 15 Presentation to New Green Businesses
We've reached 100 Green Businesses this year!!! The list (attached) includes:
A financial consultant who's gone completely paperless
Hardware stores that were hardly phased by the energy crisis with their solar
paneling and state-of-the-art light sensing systems
Our first private and public(City of Pittsburg) landscapers
The entire Mt. View Sanitary District operations, and
A small auto repair shop in Antioch that replaced a less-than-admirable
radiator shop, and believes that all repair shops should have flowers!
By now you know the standards of excellence Green Businesses must meet:
./ Be in full compliance with all our environmental agencies: Hazardous
Materials, fire, storm water, wastewater and the Air District; &
✓ Be conserving energy, water and other natural resources; and preventing
pollution from hazardous wastes.
But what you may not know is that thanks to the greatly increased commitment this last
year by our partners, we were able to expand our program to all businesses (not just
auto repair and printers), and have added a number of new partners. Our attached annual
report lists not only our accomplishments, but also the 24 partners in the program. Our
entire steering committee will be present at the April 15 recognition ceremony.
In order to expedite this lengthy presentation, we suggest that you call up all of the
recipients in your district(they will know who they are) before each of you give out the
Green Business decals to the businesses in your district.
Please call if you need any more information.
