“The beauty industry sends 877 pounds of waste the landfill every minute. We are changing the way we do business, to change that. We want to make you feel beautiful, while still keeping our environment beautiful, because we only have one Mama Earth!”

“I am beyond excited to be listed as a Certified Green Business with NV Green Business. It was a little bit of leg work, but nothing too daunting as we believe in these practices. It’s a great way to let the consumers know that we care about our planet, and we are taking actions to at least offset our impact.”

“We are fortunate to have been born and raised in Northern Nevada surrounded by the Sierra Mountains to the west and Great Basin Desert to the east. We feel a responsibility to preserve the natural beauty for our children and our community. Green business certification is just one of the ways that we meet that challenge, and we hope that many local businesses will join us!”

“Sustainability is the core value that drives every decision we make.”

“Getting my Nevada Green Business certificate was a task I didn’t take lightly. Living green, promoting green, essentially being green in the things I do, this is very important to me.”

“Water, Air, and Land are essential elements to life. Plastic is not. We need to stop exploiting our own home and learn to care for it, otherwise humankind is destined for extinction. I’m an environmentalist because I care about the next generation.”

“At Merchology, we believe that sustainability and style go together. That’s why we offer a range of eco-friendly products and our own sustainable clothing brand, Zusa. We were already implementing a range of sustainable business practices, so it was a natural next step to work with the Nevada Green Business Network to certify our efforts. We are proud to demonstrate that business has an important role as we transition to a more sustainable future.”

“As a LEED Accredited Professional with USGBC we are familiar with sustainability issues and help our clients achieve green building projects. The green business certification process was second nature and important to show our clients we practice what we preach.”

“We wanted to improve the sustainability efforts at our Nevada facility. As an organic tea company, it is important to support a healthy environment. That is why we pursued certification through the Nevada Green Business Network. We are excited to be the first manufacturer to achieve Innovator status, and proud to be among the first five businesses to become a Certified Green Business in Nevada.”

“As a socialpreneur, I am passionate about helping other social enterprises protect their brands so they can focus on creating a positive impact on their stakeholders and communities while minimizing their environmental footprint. We hope that our green business certification will inspire our clients and other local businesses to follow our example for the greater good.”
