Phil and Emma are sharing responsibility for organizing the GAP Sustainable Business Network (SBN). We take turns writing blogs for the SBN as well as coming up with sustainability tips. We worked to develop a new ranking system for potential businesses. This assessment covers electrical equipment, HVAC, lighting, waste management, water use, building exterior and beyond, and sustainable purchasing. We have tested out our new system and will begin outreach to trail town business owners who are not yet members of the GAP SBN. It is a goal to add atleast another 10 businesses to the network throughout 2011.
