The Importance Of Green Business Certification!

Along with emissions control and building design, the green business certification process is a critical weapon in our arsenal to combat global warming. Certified green businesses use less energy, conserve water, reuse and recycle product, promote best environmental practices and keep material out of the landfill. Moreover, certified green businesses will be the first adopters of many of the new technologies developed in the clean tech sector.

Simply put, the more businesses that are certified green, the more pollution will be prevented and resources conserved. Moreover, retail businesses like Waldeck's that sell green products greatly enhance the visibility and usage of environmentally friendly practices.

Waldeck's is proud to be located in California, the home to many exceptional Green Business Certification Programs--each sharing a common goal of conserving resources, preventing pollution, minimizing waste and creating a healthier work environment. If you are in these listed areas below, click on the link to find the program for your locale.

If your City or County doesn't have a Green Business Certification Program, contact your City Councilmember or County Supervisor, and encourage them to development one. Look to any of these programs as a template. When it comes to bettering the environment, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery!
