Rubenstein's NERC to coordinate Vermont Green Business Program
The Vermont Green Business Program (VT GBP) is an environmental assistance and recognition program for businesses in the Green Mountain State that support sustainable business practices. It is administered by the Vermont Environmental Assistance Office (EAO) of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR). VT GBP is a no-cost, voluntary program that promotes improved environmental and economic performance and enhances public recognition for environmental excellence of Vermont businesses. The Program includes 236 businesses—hotels, restaurants, marinas, golf courses, and groceries in the Green Mountain State.
From the Program’s inception EAO partnered with the VT Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Now in the Program’s 17th year, the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) has been selected to help coordinate the Vermont Green Business Program in partnership with EAO. “NERC is delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with the VT EAO to grow and improve the VT GBP,” stated Lynn Rubinstein, Executive Director of the Northeast Recycling Council.
