Happy Earth Day! Eco-Andersonville is excited to celebrate Earth Day’s 40 years of cherishing, honoring, and preserving our planet. One year ago, Eco-Andersonville launched a local sustainable business certification program for Andersonville businesses. The program recognizes businesses that are making a positive impact on People, Planet, and Prosperity by adopting sustainable business practices. When we launched the program, we had three certified businesses in Andersonville. As of today, we have nine businesses! GreenSky, Avalon Chiropractic Clinic, Green Genes, Hamburger Mary’s, Joel Berman Architecture & Design LTD, SIR Spa, The Coffee Studio, Visionary Eye Care, and Painted Light Photography & Framing Gallery!

Andersonville is a special place to do business and to shop, dine, and play. Our community’s commitment to sustainability and our dedication to our unique, local businesses set us apart. We hope that you enjoy Earth Day! And remember to shop, dine, and play sustainably at our eco-Andersonville certified businesses.
