Dear Green Business Allies! If you want to market your business as “green” and receive official recognition from the State of California, consider becoming a CA Certified Green Business!

The Green Business Program is a great opportunity to connect with other businesses and receive free environmental consulting.
The program helps businesses operate in an environmentally responsible manner and recognizes them for their efforts.

The program connected us with resources, such as free energy and water assessments and worked with us every step of the way to go “green.”

Once you are certified, you are listed in the CA Green Business database, and entitled to use their logo for branding and promotional purposes.

I hope you will join California’s growing Green Business community! For more information, check out the program website at www.greenbusinessca.org.

The California Green Business Network leads the nation in working with hard-to-reach businesses to create a vibrant, green economy.

A proper Mojito starts with a bar spoon of sugar and 2-3 slices of lime in the bottom of a shaker. Top that with 14-16 fresh mint leaves, and muddle them gently into the padding to release the delicate oils.

"More Iced tea, darlin’?" His sincerity was disarming, and his drawl belied a wit as fast as a hot knife through butter. We fell into an easy banter.
