As the holiday season approaches, one local program is giving Lexington shoppers a new way to go green — and support local businesses.
Green Check is a free initiative that helps local businesses, nonprofits, and places of worship measure and improve their sustainability efforts.
Participants complete a fair and comprehensive scoring process to earn Member, Bronze, Silver, or Gold status (with many raising the bar each year to reach higher certification levels).
All resources, consultations, and materials are provided free of charge to organizations in Fayette County.
The program offers guidance in areas like waste reduction, energy efficiency, and water quality, and supports a range of sectors, including:
- Retailers
- Restaurants
- Apartments
- Nonprofits
- And more
So as you make your list (and check it twice), be on the lookout for Green Check Certified businesses committed to sustainability and community impact.
