Business Resources to Help Create a Healthier Economy

Healthier Economy Resources

Sustainable business practices influence all levels of life: workers, consumers and businesses across the country who stand to lose greatly if we don’t protect our environment. The American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC) can help you keep up to date on initiatives and efforts working toward a healthier, more sustainable economy. To this end, ASBC recently rolled out a cleaner website design to enhance the public’s understanding of these important issues. Geared to businesses who want to create a more sustainable economy, the ASBC website has material that anyone interested in these issues will find useful. Highlighting topics like safer chemicals, agriculture, energy, workers’ rights, pollution, climate change and more, the website allows visitors to catch up on current research and new trends in sustainable business. Readers can also learn about pending legislation, both at the state and federal levels, and read polling reports commissioned by ASBC on some of the biggest issues of the day, like climate, extreme weather, and minimum wage. Most importantly, the ASBC website showcases actions people can take in working for sustainability. For example, the site includes pre-written templates to help easily reach out to legislators. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle like to talk about how much they love small businesses - that’s precisely why this kind of tool is important. ASBC shows that sustainability and business do go hand in hand, and that meaningful change requires the collective efforts of individuals, businesses, researchers and governments. After all,  people, cities, factories and stores are all located on one single planet. If we don’t take action to protect the planet, it’s not just polar bears that will suffer - our economy will too. Naturepedic, along with sustainability-minded businesses including Ben & Jerry’s, Seventh Generation, Patagonia, Stonyfield Farm and more, is a proud member of ASBC and the Companies for Safer Chemicals coalition.
