Subject: Inclusion of a Small to Medium Business Category in the GGRF Investment Plan
Comment:
Snoopy's Home Ice is a small to medium sized business in the County
of Sonoma. We have received technical assistance from our local
Sonoma Green Business Program to become certified by our local
government. As a result, we saved water, electricity, increased
recycling, switched to greener cleaning products, all of which
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide multiple environmental
and economic benefits.
 
Small and medium sized businesses are a large part of the economy
in our community and I believe they could do more with access to
additional assistance and rebates.  Our organization does not have
environmental staff to focus on conservation and greening our
business but if we are provided with technical assistance, we are
eager to save resources, save money and attract customers. 

The Sonoma Green Business Program is a successful one-stop shop for
small to medium sized businesses like ours to go green and to help
quantify the results of our efforts, while also getting a return on
investments.
 
We highly recommend any small business go through the program, and
believe that many small businesses making changes like we did can
have a big impact. We strongly encourage the panel for the
Investment Plan, the Governor’s office, and the State legislature
to consider including a small business element in your investment
plan. 

Thank you.
