Here is something else you may want to know: The Green Chamber of Commerce (greenchamberofcommerce.net) was created over three years ago, to strengthen a growing business movement that supports sustainable business practices, promote the success of its members, and advocates for green public policy. We have a very clear mission and are strong advocates for green businesses. Each business qualifies as green through the Bay Area Green Business program administrated by each county, or takes the B Corp survey to qualify to be a member; approved through Green America, or make a commitment to going green within the first six months of joining.
We are not associated with the US Chamber of Commerce as we are opposed to their stance on many environmental issues. Our goal is to be the alternative to the US Chamber for businesses looking to match their environmental and social values. (Check out our recent letter on Triple Pundit: http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/02/chamber-commerce-doesnt-speak-all-businesses/comment-page-1/#comment-76182 )
Our first chapter was started in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2007 and has over 300 active members ranging from architects to banks and law firms.
We announced the start of our national expansion with the launch of a second chapter in Las Vegas, Nevada on Aug, 19, 2010.
Partners include:
The American Sustainable Business Council, (http://www.asbcouncil.org) which represents over 50,000 businesses
California Business Alliance for a Green Economy, (http://ca-greenbusinessalliance.com)
B-Corp (http://www.bcorporation.net)
Green America (http://www.greenamerica.org/)

The lawyers from the Chamber’s longtime law firm Hunton and Williams had been compiling their own data set on some of these targets.”
