Subject: Inclusion of a Small to Medium Business Category in the GGRF Investment Plan
Comment:
Splash Express of Santa Rosa is a small to medium sized business in
the County of Sonoma.  We received technical assistance from our
local Sonoma Green Business Program to become certified by our
local government. As a result, we saved water, electricity,
increased recycling, switched to greener cleaning products, all of
which reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide multiple
environmental and economic benefits.

We could still do more with additional assistance and rebates. 
Small and medium sized businesses are a large part of the economy
of this State.  Most of us do not have environmental staff to focus
on conservation and greening our business but if we are provided
technical assistance, we are eager to become recognized Green to
save resources, save money and attract customers.  The Sonoma Green
Business Program is a successful one-stop shop for small to medium
sized businesses like ours to go green and quantify their efforts,
and get a return on investment.

We highly recommend any small business go through the program, and
believe that many small businesses making changes like we did can
have a big impact.   We strongly encourage the panel for the
Investment Plan,the Governor's office, and the State legislature to
consider including a small business element in your investment
plan.

Thank you
