Business Pledge Checklist
If you have a business in Whatcom County and haven't yet taken the Business Pledge but would like to do so, call
Cathy Lehman at (360) 647-7093.
The Business Pledge checklist is used by pollution
prevention teams to help your business identify
practices that reduce pollution. It is broken into
three sections: minimizing solid waste, minimizing
hazardous waste, and preventing water pollution. The boxes next to each practice are
used to indicate whether: 1. you already use the practice,
2. the practice is something you could do, or 3. it doesn't apply.
Your business might already be using many of these practices, but
you'll probably find some you're not doing yet.
When we've completed the checklist with you, those practices that you've indicated are possible but you're not currently doing make up your
Pledge "To Do" list.
After your Pledge visit, which lasts about 30 minutes,
you'll get a copy of our
Business Pledge Manual,
which further explains the concepts behind the items on
the checklist and lists resources you can use to
implement them.
Businesses that take the Whatcom Watersheds Pledge are
making a commitment to start using as many of these
practices as they can to improve our water for the
enjoyment of fish and humans! In return you receive free
recognition in local newspaper advertisements and
publications, and a business pledge plaque to display in
your store or office. There are no fees or requests for
money.
