Comment:
Alameda County Water District is an official partner agency to the Alameda County Green Business Program. The ACGBP and its partners provide technical assistance to small-to-medium sized businesses, resulting in greenhouse gas reductions as well as adoption of best practices. The results include multiple environmental benefits that help grow the green economy and create a marketplace for Certified Green Businesses. Our program provides on-site assistance to businesses and verifies practice improvements in partnership with the ACGBP. We participate in the ACGBP because the Program helps businesses improve water use efficiency (our primary mission), adopt leading edge greenhouse gas reduction practices and generates reliable outcome metrics. The Green Business Program directly meets the GGRF funding priorities of measurable GHG emission reductions and multiple environmental benefits while providing economic benefits and extending program benefits to disadvantaged communities. We strongly encourage your Board, the Governor’s office, and the State legislature to include a small business element in your investment plan so that programs like the GBP can truly grow the green economy throughout California.
