The goal is to implement the Green Star Standards at your organization and earn the Green Star Award, which will be presented at your local chamber of commerce luncheon. When you enroll in the program, we will supply you with an enrollment packet which includes the Green Star Standards as well as information helpful in applying those standards. We also offer several free services to our members, i.e. We publish a monthly newsletter with helpful information, we operate quarterly workshops with classes to help and educate businesses, we are available for phone calls when questions arise and we are available to visit your business to answer questions, speak to employees, or otherwise assist your Green Star effort. You receive recognition not only when you earn your award but also when you join the program, making your enrollment fee your most effective advertising investment. Businesses who successfully implement the program end up producing less waste and saving energy, both of which save money.
Every business enrolled in Green Star enjoys some degree of cost savings.
Benefit to the community and the environment. Your business will enjoy knowing that you are operating as responsible as possible, doing what you can to help the environment and keeping the community clean. The vast majority of the expense of the program is underwritten by our program sponsors at the various levels of commitment. The Green Star Program is proof that businesses can improve themselves and the environment apart from additional regulations, government intervention, or radical environmental groups. The program is supported by mostly private funding and is a voluntary partnership between chambers of commerce and businesses.
