RockNRidgeRanch Certified Green Business - California Green Business Network
We're thrilled to share that our Airbnb hosting business has been honored as a Certified Green Business by the California Green Business Network. ๐
Here's more about the Network:
The California Green Business Network (CAGBN) is a community of small to medium-sized businesses throughout the state of California that comply with environmental regulations in the areas of waste, energy, water, pollution prevention, and air quality. These businesses have all undergone an extensive auditing process, implemented cost and resource-saving measures, and continue to use best practices even beyond certification. Certified businesses undergo an extensive auditing process, implementation, and continual monitoring.
Led by a coalition of state, local, utility and non-governmental organizations, the program achieves its mission by recognizing and promoting businesses that meet high sustainability standards. The measured results of all 3000+ California Green Businesses put together nets some huge environmental outcomes: Over 800,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions reduced, the equivalent of planting over 40,000 urban acres of trees a year for ten years. Enough kilowatt-hours saved to power 25,000 houses for an entire year. Over 400,000 metric tons of waste diverted from the landfill, almost 60,000 garbage trucks worth of waste eliminated. 124 million gallons of water saved โ a lot of toilets and shower heads folks! Over 28,000 gallons of hazardous waste were eliminated. The Network was formalized as an official state program in 2011 (A.B. 913 Feuer) and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
