Hi everyone, Just wanted to share that we just got our Green Business certification from the city of San Francisco. For those of you who're looking to go this route, here are some things we did:
•Recycling and composting bins (did a workshop and put up signs so members can figure out what goes where) •We collect our members' batteries and electronics and then recycle them •We improved our water and energy efficiency by installing light timers and water filters •We use recycled office and bathroom/break room paper •We got mugs, plastic water cups and silverware to reduce waste •When members install our printer, we help them do the double-printing default setting •We got rid of bad cleaning supplies in exchange for an all-natural vinegar-water "Windex" and green detergent Overall, the process took almost half a year - so patience is definitely a key. Anyways, here's our listing on SF Green Business site - http://www.sfgreenbusiness.org/business-search/?searchword=sandbox+suites. Good luck to any of you who're pursuing the green route!
