USGBC’s national members are organizations, corporations and institutions across the globe. Any organization that shares our goal of a more sustainable built environment should join the USGBC community. Our member organizations come from every industry – from big companies and small businesses to nonprofits and governments – and the benefits of membership extend to all full-time employees. They are part of a vibrant and diverse community that offers unlimited new opportunities for connecting individuals and businesses with the people, information and ideas they need to be part of the rapidly growing green building industry.
Since 1989, the Chatham Environmental Forum (CEF) has been quietly assisting the community in tackling some of the area’s most challenging environmental issues. The CEF membership includes a broad cross-section of the community with equal representation from the business sector, governmental bodies, and environmental advocacy groups. Trident Sustainability Group is a representative of the environmental sector, and helped craft the plan to make Chatham County the greenest county in Georgia. Download the plan here.
In 2013, Tommy Linstroth launched Sustainativity – a 501c3 organization focused on implementing tangible sustainability projects with local nonprofit organizations.
