Comment:
Quartertime, Inc dba Easy Breezy Car Wash is a California Certified Green Business, recognized by the the County of Sonoma. We received technical assistance from our local Green Business Program which worked cross agency with the Sonoma County Water Association to become recognized by our local government. As a result, we saved water, electricity, increased recycling, switched to greener car wash chemistries, all of which reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide multiple environmental and economic benefits. In addition, our Green business plan got us thinking green and we have continued to develop more environmentally safe procedures. We could still do more, a lot more, with additional assistance and rebates. Small businesses are a large part of the economy of this State. We do not have environmental staff to focus on conservation and greening our business but if we are provided technical assistance, we are eager to become Certified Green to save resources, save money and attract customers. We know that we have to be better at being environmentally friendly and we also know that it can and must go hand in hand with business profitability. The California Green Business Program is a successful one-stop shop for small to medium sized businesses like mine to go green and quantify their efforts, and get a return on investment. We highly recommend any small business go through the program, and know that many small businesses making changes like we did can have a big impact. We strongly encourage your Board, the Governor’s office, and the State legislature to consider including a small business element in your investment plan. Thank you. Daniel Brown drdrb@sonic.net
