Green Business Awards
In cooperation with SEEDS (Sustainable Energy Education & Development Support), The Chamber of the Northern Poconos wishes to increase our region’s green business practices (as consumers are increasingly shopping for “greener” companies) and honor a member business for their sustainable business practices. These practices can include: energy conservation, renewable energy, transportation, water conservation, purchasing/waste prevention, pollution reduction, and recycling/composting. The Green Business of the Year Award is our way to recognize businesses for making this region a more sustainable place to live and work. Below is a list of businesses that have won the Green Business award and a brief description of their sustainability efforts.
