We have an embarrassment of riches in Silver Lake when it comes to green business. An organized effort on the part of our local businesses, both already green and in green development, will further the goals of putting Silver Lake on the map as a green place to shop, dine and celebrate; and help show the Environmental Affairs Department that there is ample interest, to justify further needed funding for the program to fully roll out.
If you are interested in becoming certified, please go to the following link and "take the pledge" - the more of us who show interest in the program, the more resources will be committed to it:

The current thinking is that cost of applying to participate will be minimal or nothing, to encourage participation. Please take a look at the criteria using the above link and email us at green@silverlakechamber.com with your thoughts.
Thank you for helping brand Silver Lake as a healthy place to live, work and play by investing your time and resources into making your business green! |
