Take the GREEN SALEM BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Calling all Salem businesses! The 3rd annual Green Salem Business Challenge is live now through Sunday, May 6. Whether the idea of "going green" is new to you, or you've been incorporating green practices all along...whether you're a business of 1 or 50 employees... the GSBC is for you. Take the Greater Shades of Green survey at www.northshoretma.org/gsbc.

NEW THIS YEAR:

* A sustainability tool kit of resources to help businesses save money and reduce their environmental impact

* A PDF where you can sample the GSBC first, before taking it online (recommended, as the survey takes about 20 minutes and must be completed all in one sitting)

* The Greater Shades of Green palette -- are you as green as a sprout, seedling, sapling, or forest?

Find out what's happening in Salemfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

* A ceremony at which ALL PARTICIPANTS will be recognized for their sustainability efforts, at noon on May 19th, at the Living Green Fair, in Old Town Hall. Mayor Kimberley Driscoll and Representative John Keenan will present certificates to GSBC participants.

The Green Salem Business Challenge is an opportunity for businesses to connect with the Salem community: customers, other businesses, and community leaders. Join us!
