Earth Day: Every Day is Earth Day for Small Business

April 22, 2008
In an interesting confluence of events, Earth Day falls during National Small Business Week, highlighting the fact that small businesses are some of America’s important environmental stewards.

“Every day is Earth Day for small business,” says Thomas M. Sullivan, the chief counsel of the Office of Advocacy for the Small Business Administration. “Every day small businesses endeavor to be good environmental stewards in their communities.”
