Your business is committed to being a local, sustainable business.
Don’t keep that a secret.
Receiving a green energy survey from Green Impact Campaign volunteers is just the first step towards becoming a local, sustainable business in your community. But it’s a step that should be celebrated and shared with your customers, clients, and community. We’ve put together a simple social media guide to help you shine a (energy-efficient) light on the commitment and the steps that your business has taken by participating. Follow the guide below to engage your followers and broadcast your greening efforts.
