"I've had the privilege to serve as a local City Councilmember and as an environmental regulator and I really wanted to "practice what I preach" in my own business.

- Clifford Waldeck, Waldeck's Office Supplies

"We get regular comments from people all the time about how much they appreciate it [that we are a recognized San Francisco Green Business]. It can be a challenge at first to buy supplies and whatnot, but we've found the cost savings in some areas will offset the extra expenses in other areas. I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to do this program."
- Wayne Miller, Butler and the Chef Bistro

"It's not enough to just say you're green; you actually have to walk the walk. It's very important that our clients understand that we are doing this not as marketing gimmick but because we want to run our business ethically."
- Leah Oblinger, Barkley Court Reporters

"We've been getting a lot new customers through the SF Green Business website. It's good for the environment, it's good for our city and it's the right thing to do. You actually make money at it too, so it's a win-win situation for everybody and you can get some environmental piece of mind."
