Green Actions for Home Business

Greening Your Home Business—Practical Actions That Make a Difference

Running a business from home offers flexibility, freedom—and a unique opportunity to lead with intention. As a member of my town’s Green Team, and a home-based green business owner myself, I know firsthand how small, thoughtful, green actions can create meaningful impact.

That’s why I created this checklist for home-based businesses. Whether you’re a designer, coach, maker, or solopreneur, this initiative is designed to help you integrate green practices in achievable, value-aligned ways.

I’ve organized the program around eight key areas of sustainability:

Energy Waste

Water Building + Landscape Pollution Prevention

Social Responsibility Local Community Transportation

These areas help encompass the 3 "P" principles of sustainability: People, Planet, Profit.

Each area has ideas tailored to what’s realistic in a home setting. You’ll find simple swaps, mindful habits, and a few deep-dive options—because no matter your space or schedule, sustainability should feel approachable and rewarding.

Let’s dig into the checklist—download it, use it to audit your workspace, and feel free to start small. Every intentional action matters. If you haven't yet, check out my free guide: Define, Align, Balance to help you define your why, align your actions and keep a healthy, sustainable balance!
