Los Gatos: Growing Greener Together
The Town of Los Gatos has been certified as a Green Business. This program, coordinated by ABAG, is a partnership of environmental agencies that assists, recognizes and promotes business and government agencies who operate in a more environmentally responsible way. The key goals of the program are to promote resources conservation and pollution prevention.

 |
At the Town, we take this certification seriously and ask our Town Employees to follow our Green Business Commitments and do the right thing for our environment everyday, while at work in our Town offices. We invite you and your family to join us in our efforts to protect the environment and encourage these and similar practices to become a part of all of our lives while at work and at home.
Each month we feature green theme and provide related tips and green practices for the workspace and home environment. A portion of the tips and practices offered come from our green business certification commitments. By using these and other green practices at work and at play, our goal is to "grow a little greener" each day! |
