There has recently been a really exciting development on the Green Business front in Los Angeles: the City, through the efforts of Councilmember Richard Alarcon of Council District 7, has announced initial funding of a City-wide voluntary Certified Green Business Program.

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:
