Bethesda Green Drinks
Through the collaborative efforts of businesses, government and residents, Bethesda Green serves as a catalyst and trusted resource in building a dynamic model community for sustainable economic growth and living. Bethesda Green does this by:
-
Supporting the local economy by partnering with businesses, government and others to enhance efficiencies, profitability and environmental responsibility.
-
Creating a healthier community by initiating programs and promoting sustainable practices that improve the quality of life.
- Providing information to educate businesses and citizens about innovative sustainable business and living solutions.
Bethesda Green invites local businesses, government employees, and members of the larger community to get involved. The recently redesigned office space is an educational community center showcasing green products and services. Building on existing networks, we create a "multiplier" effect to achieve greater results and help make Bethesda a leader in environmental sustainability.
Bethesda Green is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and depends upon the philanthropic support of corporations, businesses, foundations and individuals to realize the vision of making Bethesda a model for sustainable economic growth and living practices.
