What is a Green Business?

That is really up to you. This website enables you to rate businesses, overall, and soon, on various sustainability factors. In general, a green business is a business that is making an honest effort to promote and practice sustainability, both within the company, and to its customers and business parters as well.


We ask that in order for a business to be listed, that it be certified by a reputable third party. Some of the third-party certifications that we know about are:

  • Co-Op America
  • Energy Star
  • Green Seal
  • LEED
  • Bay Area Green Business
  • USDA Organic
  • Others on Eco-Labels.org

Why would I choose a Green Business?

By voting with your dollars, you can support companies that are socially responsible. Those companies and individuals need your support - and by supporting them, you are helping the green economy grow.


Who selects the businesses? Can I rate myself?

You! That's the point. Yeah, we're not afraid of self-promotion here. In our book everyone starts off with five stars, anyway...Sign up for an account, on the right side of the page, to add your listing.
