Green Me Locally: Helping Businesses Lower Their Environmental Impact and Become More Profitable

Green Me Locally began paving the way to sustainability in 2010 within the Tampa Bay area region. The business was created with a goal of creating an authentic and quality resource for people in their local areas to learn how to lessen their environmental impact, live a healthier lifestyle and locate and support green businesses. Today, Green Me Locally  is a global resource for consumers and small businesses. They help consumers  find sustainable businesses, events and environmental education. They also work with businesses and offer consulting services where they specialize in helping companies lower their environmental impact and do good things for people and the planet.
