Green Lane -- Sustainable Business Network

The Mayor's Bold Steps program honors Eugene businesses that make decisions based on the concept of the triple bottom line, which includes taking extra care in how they treat people and the planet, while supporting economic prosperity. The program is a collaborative effort between a number of community volunteers, Cumulus media group and Mayor Kitty Piercy. Learn from a panel of businesses that have received this award about their bold step - how they pursued it and lessons learned.  Then, discuss with fellow GreenLaners at your table what bold steps your organization might take.
