Your contribution makes a difference
Your contributions and actions matter to the sustainability of the Yampa Valley. By joining this program, not only will you be lessening your environmental impact on the valley that we all cherish, but you will also be advancing economic sustainability for your business. You will be setting an example for the Yampa Valley community to prioritize sustainability, while attracting customers who are looking for businesses contributing to the community and making a positive impact.
To launch the Yampa Valley Green Business Program, we worked with Aspen Tree Service as our first business in the program. Aspen Tree Service expressed great interest in lessening their environmental impact and wanted to be part of the pilot program. As a pilot business, Aspen Tree Service allowed the YVGBP to learn what will work best by trialing the registration process to become more familiar with how it works. We were able to revise the program and find what works best and how to improve the process for future businesses. We are looking forward to our continued partnership with Aspen Tree Service as they move through the YVGBP.
