GREEN BUSINESSES IN OUR AREA

The Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program certifies businesses that meet certain guidelines for environmentally friendly operations. Their program is a partnership of environmental agencies, professional associates, waste management agencies, utilities, and concerned public -- working together to recognize and assist businesses to become "green."

Here are [1] a list of certified businesses in PG and [2] some other businesses in the Pacific Grove area whose operations follow many of the Program's green principles. Check out the two lists of these businesses.
