Green Business

In 2008, the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce created a GREEN Committee to assist and recognize Lafayette Businesses that are committed to adopting green practices. Lafayette Green Business Logo

Our goals include:

Help businesses get well-deserved attention for their efforts
Help residents more easily identify green businesses in our city
Proposition for Businesses

The Lafayette Plastic Bag Ban went into effect on July 1, 2015. Learn More+
