Quartertime, Inc dba Easy Breezy Car Wash is a California Certified
Green Business, recognized by the the County of Sonoma. We received
technical assistance from our local Green Business Program which
worked cross agency with the Sonoma County Water Association to
become recognized by our local government. As a result, we saved
water, electricity, increased recycling, switched to greener car
wash chemistries, all of which reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
provide multiple environmental and economic benefits. In addition,
our Green business plan got us thinking green and we have continued
to develop more environmentally safe procedures.  
We could still do more, a lot more, with additional assistance and
rebates. Small businesses are a large part of the economy of this
State.  We 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 Certified Green to save
resources, save money and attract customers. We know that we have
to be better at being environmentally friendly and we also know
that it can and must go hand in hand with business profitability.
The California Green Business Program is a successful one-stop shop
for small to medium sized businesses like mine to go green and
quantify their efforts, and get a return on investment.
We highly recommend any small business go through the program, and
know that many small businesses making changes like we did can have
a big impact. We strongly encourage your Board, the Governor’s
office, and the State legislature to consider including a small
business element in your investment plan. Thank you.
