"Criticism is easy, but building a system that literally changed the industry isn't. There is a reason that our competition is so vehement that they will stop at nothing to stop our program. We built the only system that requires actual audits by trained consultants. While others send out folks trained only to sell unsuspecting customers another Green product, GBL never sold a product. We did audits and required actual compliance.

We are proud of the consultants who have taken on the challenge to be the agent of change in their community. Our program is not one person, but more than 400 people who stepped forward to lead in an noble effort.

You really have to ask yourself, if not Green Business League, what company is prepared to conduct audits for any size business in the community by having a live auditor on the scene? There is none, but there are many pretenders.

Green business certification has been a race to the bottom to see who could gather a fee for the easiest-to-earn certification. In many cases, such certifications were bought off the Internet for a price and the time it took to complete a few online forms.

We believe in a race to the top by requiring businesses to prove their Green commitment. Every Green Business League certification was proudly, "Earned, not Bought."

Green Business League is not one man, but 400 Green consultants who have made a commitment to bring their dedication to the community and make a difference in this world."
