There is a tremendous opportunity for the 1200+
businesses, large and small, that operate in
Lafayette to become more sustainable and help
reduce global warming.
Sustainable Lafayette is working with the
Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and the City of
Lafayette's Environmental Task Force to help
identify easy steps that any business can take and
to share success
stories (i.e. best practices)
between businesses. So, local businesses can
learn from what others are doing.
