Why is greening your small business important? Join Norcal Waste for this Small Business Program on how to green your small business. Small business owners, managers and other staff can learn the initial simple steps to green their small businesses. Taking the steps to 'go green' can help you:

* Save money and resources
* Meet the growing consumer demand for socially and environmentally conscious business
* Be a leader
* Protect the environment
* Help stop global warming

Presented by Norcal Waste, the program will also offer presentations and interaction with the PG&E and the San Francisco Department of the Environment. Among other things, attendees will hear how to

* Start or maximize their recycling and composting programs
* Reduce their business energy and water use
* Minimize pollution
* Use less-toxic products

In addition to hearing presentations from each of these organizations on what steps businesses can take to go green, attendees will hear from several San Francisco small businesses who have taken proactive steps to green their business, including Mike Zuckerman from Temple Nightclub. Whether you're just starting out or have already put some green practices into place, these presentations will further the green conversation with the small business community!
