Chambers of Commerce throughout the country are using our innovative program to help their members become more aware of the advantages of incorporating green business practices in their businesses in order to reach full green certification.
The Green Business Chamber of Commerce is a nation-wide program designed to promote members and provide helpful information which can assist them in the 21st century.
We are not endorsing the concept of “global warming” or “man-made” climate change. The climate of the earth was in flux long before Henry Ford.
Neither are we in league with radical environmentalists. Essentially the environmental movement is anti-business and we are pro-business.
We are simply addressing the issue of what local businesses can do to ride the wave of environmental consciousness, increase their business in the process and contribute to cleaning up the environment in a reasonable way.
As custodians of the earth we should be environmentally responsible and rational. As intelligent business people we can be both.
Chamber's Mission
What We Do
As a result of our collaboration between Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, it became apparent that Chamber members needed a way to promote their going green commitments. We want to help.
Along with local Chamber programs that are designed to promote their going green members, it was determined that a national presence was required to promote these members and to reach a much wider national audience. This is our objective in a nutshell.

We Heard...
* As though anesthesiologists don’t have enough to be concerned with, a clinical professor in anesthesiology claims that certain gases commonly used for putting patients under can have 12 times the impact of other choices when it comes to “global warming.”
Shouldn’t concern for the patient take precedence over irrational climate change hysteria?
* Britain has saved over $100 million a year by making government departments more energy efficient. How much more could be saved by Britain and the U. S. by making government efficient?
* Seimens, the industrial technology giant is responsible for building roughly 55% of all new offshore wind turbines in Europe so far in 2010.
* Many energy experts state that natural gas is the ideal fuel as the world moves to renewable energy. Unfortunately they prefer to move past natural gas to wind and solar, due to the fact that much of the natural gas comes from underground shale and these folks think the environmental damage is not worth the transitional benefits of natural gas.
* Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard stated that Australia would postpone a carbon emissions trade scheme (“scam”) until sometime after 2012. How about 3012?
* U.S. Export-Import Bank pledged $1 billion to finance renewable energy projects in Turkey, leaving open the possibility of increasing financing to $3 billion. Turkey??
* A Swedish startup company is developing a prototype of an underwater kite that will harness tidal power in Northern Ireland in 2011. It’s actually an interesting concept.
* Global market analysts say that the world’s oceans hold vast untapped potential for energy production that can be more reliable than wind or solar energy production.
