Support Big Bear: Green Business Program, Restaurant Week + Vote Big Bear Daily

We’re excited to share a new opportunity available through Care for Big Bear.

 

Care for Big Bear has officially partnered with the California Green Business Network to launch the Big Bear Valley Green Business Program, a new initiative designed to help local businesses strengthen their sustainability efforts and receive recognition for doing so.

 

This program brings a trusted statewide certification framework to Big Bear Valley, giving businesses the opportunity to adopt and showcase responsible practices that support the long-term health of our environment and community.

 

Certified businesses can receive benefits including:

  • Marketing tools
  • Educational resources
  • Recognition for sustainable practices
  • Increased visibility for their environmental efforts

The program supports actions such as energy conservation, waste reduction, and community outreach, while helping ensure local sustainability efforts are both meaningful and measurable.

 

As Sara Schacht, Director of Care for Big Bear, shared:

 

“The Big Bear Valley Green Business Program invites our local business community to take a leadership role in caring for our valley. With every new partner, we become more unified, and the message that environmental responsibility in Big Bear is a priority is reinforced for our visitors, locals, and everyone who spends time here.”
