Office of Sustainability: ‘Green business is good business’

Many businesses are realizing that supporting a healthy community and promoting green initiatives, such as reducing waste and conserving water and energy, is beneficial not just for the environment but also for reducing costs and attracting like-minded customers. Every year, Austin Green Business Leaders recognizes those businesses, large and small, in the local community who are leading the pack in their commitment to sustainability. This year, just in time for Earth Day, the group is welcoming 33 businesses to join its ranks, bringing the total membership of the group up to 228.
