9 Vienna Businesses Complete Sustainability Challenge

VIENNA, VA—Nine Vienna businesses who have successfully completed the Town’s 2018 Sustainability Challenge were recognized at the Town Council meeting Monday. These businesses include: Caboose Brewing Company, Caffe Amouri, Cycle Chi, The Insight Shop, Joanne Ehreth Burke, CPA, PLLC, Metro Scooters, Purple Onion Catering, Social Burger and The Sustainability Guys.

Businesses can be certified as sustainable by adopting green practices that can cut costs and benefit the community. Through the program, certified businesses tally points on a checklist of green practices that they use during daily operations.

Social Burger owner Denise Lee says the restaurant has benefited from the practice. "There are so many choices out there for products, and as a small business owner I can easily change my beef supplier to someone who is local, has high-quality products, and lower transportation costs," said Lee. "It’s a win-win-win: Cut costs, make a better product, and excel in customer service."

The Sustainability Challenge was created by the Enhancement Commission to recognize businesses that utilize environmentally-friendly practices.
