Featured Participants

The Port of San Diego is pleased to announce that 55 businesses have completed their scorecards. We have a workshop coming up May 31, 2011 on LEED 101 from 2-3:30 pm where participants will get an introduction to the LEED rating system. This system is a universal way buildings can be measured for their sustainability.

We are excited about the launch of this new blog feature to provide participants and the San Diego Bay Community with an interactive way to learn more about the sustainable efforts around the bay! Stay tuned for more posts to come.

The Green Business Challenge is a voluntary program spearheaded by the Port of San Diego and San Diego Gas & Electric to help businesses around the Bay reduce energy consumption and their impacts on the local environment.  Follow the participants’ progress as they take the Challenge and showcase their environmental efforts as stewards of San Diego Bay.
