HOW COLUMBUS GOT ITS GREENSPOT

GreenSpot was inspired by people like you. People who looked to the City of Columbus for answers to some important questions. Like, what exactly does green mean? How can I get green? How does being green impact our city? That's the genesis of GreenSpot.

Founded in 2008 by former Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman, it's a place where people in our city go to learn about living and working greener, and commit to doing it—in their homes, businesses, and communities.

GreenSpot to GreenSpot

GreenSpot to GreenSpot GreenSpot businesses run discounts for our GreenSpot members (both household and business). If your business is interested in offering a discount or free item simply e-mail us the discount (and any specifications like certain days, expiration, etc.) you are willing to offer.

Your business will receive recognition on the GreenSpot Facebook page (3,800+ followers), Twitter (670 followers), and website.

It is easy to participate; we will notify GreenSpot members and encourage them to redeem the discount by verbally indicating they are a member at checkout or show a picture of their GreenSpot decal.
