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.

Join the Sustainable Lafayette Network and begin receiving a monthly newsletter with tips and success stories from around town. If you've already taken some steps to make your business more green, please consider sharing your story so other local businesses can learn and be inspired by what you've done.
