Saving water, conserving energy, reducing waste and buying or selling green are all sustainable steps that improve our community’s and environment’s health. Businesses that take these steps to lower their environmental footprint find that they save money while protecting and preserving resources. In Thurston County, businesses that take one or all of these stewardship steps receive recognition for their efforts when they become a Thurston Green Business. It\u2019s easy and FREE to join. Applications open from January 1 through February 28.<\/p>\n
