I put the EnviroStars logo on my truck, a couple of new clients saw it and went to the EnviroStars website to get my phone number. I recommend this to everyone! They ask me about EnviroStars too. We owe it to the county for the privilege of all the resources you make available to us.

In Harmony was one of the first EnviroStars, and Smith and Gile thank the program for helping them to grow and build their reputation. EnviroStars has given us great recognition along with free advertising and marketing, Smith said. It's helpful to have a third party certify that were doing a good job protecting the environment. People know it's not just a sales ploy. In addition to providing environmentally friendly landscape services, In Harmony works to educate the public and landscape industry about the benefits of gardening with nature, not against it. We're building a better future for our children, Smith said.

The EnviroStars Program does several things. First, it helps a company focus on their practices, waste stream, and accomplishments so far. Second, it establishes incentive for improvement. Finally, being evaluated by the county and having a third party speak for our accomplishments gives Cascade a voice that the public will listen to.
