Are you interested in greening your business or community? The Bureau of Sustainability has developed a series of Sustainable Business Guides and case studies to encourage New Jersey businesses, municipalities, and residents to adopt sustainable practices and reduce their environmental impact. These guides are composed of simple actions you can take at work to help create a more sustainable New Jersey. The best practices are organized by topic area and by business sector and may include links to relevant external resources. The case studies highlight how the leaders in our state are implementing sustainable practices to the benefit of their local communities. We hope these serve as a good starting point as you explore ways to incorporate sustainability into your everyday.
