June 2009 Green Business Workshops
June 4th - 8:30am to 10:30am - Going Green with Your Company - The Enterprise Center at Salem State College, speaker: Margaret Somer. Free. 90% of consumers say they prefer eco-conscious products and services. Sustainable business practices can help small firms shrink expenses while increasing sales. No matter what you sell, learn how to build a sustainable and successful green business while helping to eliminate toxins and improve the environment.
