The Green Business Program of Santa Barbara County (GBPSBC) will be hosting its annual luncheon to honor over two dozen green businesses that were certified and re-certified this past year on Wednesday, March 13, 2019. The luncheon will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Hotel Corque, located at 400 Alisal Road in Solvang.
Among those to be recognized at the luncheon is the City of Goleta, which was re-certified this past year as a Green Business by the GBPSBC. The City of Goleta is proud to renew and strengthen its commitment to sustainability by implementing environmentally friendly practices throughout the organization. In addition to the recertification of our city, the Goleta Sanitary District, Sweet Cheeks, Brighten Solar Co., and AC4 Fitness in Goleta were all certified as green businesses within the past year.
The keynote speaker for the event will be Seth Streeter, the Founder and CEO of Mission Wealth and of Sustainablefuture.org.
