We're happy to announce that we've joined the Green Chamber of Commerce. It's been a long time coming!

The Green Chamber does amazing work. They're building a community of businesses who care about the environment, who realize that pursuing profit is meaningless if we destroy our planet in the process.

In their words, they're building an "honest economy for all people and our planet". They're working towards this goal by creating a network of green businesses, supporting the development of sustainable business practices and advocating for green public policies.

That last part is important: green public policy. The traditional Chamber of Commerce has been working against agressive climate change policy, to the point that major members such as Nike, Apple and even PG&E left the organization in 2009.

The Green Chamber of Commerce advocates for smart environmental policies, of course. Its founding chapter is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, however they're expanding across the U.S. - and to some unlikely areas! The last I heard, Las Vegas and New Jersey were the possible next chapter sites. (As a Jersey girl, this made me very happy!)

I'm looking forward to getting more involved with the Green Chamber, from attending their events to presenting the latest info and tips on social media and video to other members.
