quantity as we want to focus on the businesses who are ready to ramp their efforts with sustainability. “We’ve revised the program, in collaboration with the city, county, and Chamber, to enhance impact,” said Recycle Utah’s Education Director Mary Closser. The Green Business Awards brings business owners and operators together for a lively celebration. Regular Green Business network meetings will add cohesion to sustainable business leaders and bring best practices and incentives to the community, resulting in concrete progress towards net-zero. It aims to bring greater recognition and incentives to businesses that surface as environmental leaders. The Green Business’s updated mission is to provide tools, more expert guidance, and more local resources for Summit County organizations to maximize value while building sustainable, regenerative business practices. These transitions can be complicated and expensive, which is where the coalition of teams like Recycle Utah and the Park City Chamber of Commerce comes in to support. With more than 100 businesses involved in the program, it’s clear that residents and business owners are concerned about climate change and motivated to improve sustainable practices. There is a need now more than ever for the Green Business Program as Park City, and Summit County have set ambitious climate goals, the Chamber has an increasing interest in sustainable tourism, and several local businesses have taken giant steps towards net-zero carbon, zero waste. The Green Business Program celebrates, rewards, and supports businesses that act to be community sustainability leaders. Recycle Utah has revamped its Green Business Program, launched in 2016, in partnership with the Park City Municipal & Summit County Sustainability teams, Utah Clean Energy, and the Park City Chamber of Commerce.
