Green Star History
Green Star began in 1990, in Anchorage, Alaska, as a cooperative effort. The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce successfully partnered with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and the non-profit Alaska Center for the Environment to develop the Green Star program. The program, represented by this diverse group of state regulators, environmentalists, and business leaders, was created to give positive recognition to organizations that exercised environmental responsibility. Through the program, it was found that organizations that are environmentally responsible also have a stronger bottom line. Examining an organization’s waste streams and making an internal change to reduce them result in significant financial savings, as well as environmental benefits.
Today, Green Star Program continues with the support of Knik Tribal Council, to recognize businesses that voluntarily meet and exceed Green Star’s standards of environmental responsibility.
Green Star® is a program of the Alaska Forum, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It supports businesses and organizations that wish to practice waste reduction, energy conservation, and pollution prevention through education and technical assistance, with an award-winning voluntary "green" business certification program.
