VIRGINIA GREEN SUPPLIERS NETWORK
The Virginia Green Suppliers Network (VGSN) is a business-to-businesses resource whereby green product and service providers can assist other businesses in meeting green requirements and becoming eco-friendly. Business leaders can choose from a variety of services, from grease recycling, linen cleaning, landscaping, and water conservation services; to bath products, photovoltaic solar panels, bio-based foods, green building supplies, and…the list goes on! Membership in the VGSN is tiered based on company size ($100-$300 annually), discounted for VHTA members. Visit www.VirginiaGreenSuppliers.com for complete details.

The Virginia Green initiative is a business-to-customer program that promotes environmentally-friendly tourism and hospitality businesses like lodging, restaurants, wineries, conference centers, and golf course establishments. Membership is FREE for qualifying businesses. Once a business is registered, it will be listed on the Virginia Green Travel site (www.Virginia.org/green) where visitors choose from participating destinations when planning their vacations to Virginia.
