Regional Sustainability Organizations - Green Plus. There are a multitude of nonprofits bringing together their local and regional business communities around the topic of sustainability. Since we weren’t able to find a comprehensive list of such organizations we created one. Such organizations offer local knowledge and networks and can be a great touch point for getting connected to sustainability in your area. If you have a suggested addition of a sustainability nonprofit specifically focused on offering business networking opportunities in your area, please contact us here.

Green Plus seeks to complement the work of other organizations promoting sustainable practices in communities by providing a turnkey, national sustainability certification program that works through chambers of commerce to introduce the concepts of triple bottom line sustainability to small and medium sized employers, foster networks of sustainable organizations, and reward participants for their efforts.
