The Nevada Green Business Network (NVGBN) is a diverse, purpose-driven coalition that offers a statewide green business certification program. We work with small-to-medium-sized businesses, offer free assistance and resources, and recognize efforts that save energy and water, reduce waste, and prevent pollution. Our checklists, built on environmental standards and best practices, offer businesses a framework for sustainability, and we certify those that meet or exceed the minimum threshold of green criteria.

greenUP!’s Green Dining Program started in 2019 to work with Carson City restaurants on food waste reduction and eliminating single use plastics and Styrofoam containers. In 2022, greenUP! partnered with several sustainability minded organizations to form Green Dining Nevada greendiningnv.com. Today, there are nearly 50 Nevada restaurants that have gone through the process of becoming green dining Nevada members. greenUP! also started Green-Box-to-Go  offering restaurants reusable  containers for free. Customers can purchase a subscription and “borrow” containers from participating restaurants for their takeout meals. See: green-box-to-go.
