Thurston Green Business Directory
Saving water, conserving energy, reducing waste and buying or selling green are all sustainable steps that improve the health of our community and environment. Businesses who take these steps to lower their environmental footprint find that they save money while protecting and preserving resources. In Thurston County, businesses who take one or all of these stewardship steps receive recognition for their efforts when they become a Thurston Green Business. 

Capitol-Olympia Chapter Ocean Friendly Restaurants
The Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program does just that. One restaurant, one customer at a time, increases awareness, drives change in behavior, and ultimately creates a scalable impact to reduce our plastic (and water!) footprint.
