Small business resources for the entrepreneur, home based business, advice and ideas for starting a business, writing a business plan, management, and more. Natural Resource Directory
This Directory is the culmination of a dream that began in 1990 when I moved here to Los Angeles from the East Coast. I was very eager to make my home in a city that had a worldwide reputation for being on the forefront of holistic medicine, ecology, spirituality and higher consciousness. When I arrived, I began to search for these resources only to find that the search was anything but easy. With all the products and services available, I discovered that there was no central source I could consult to find them simply and easily other than through word-of- mouth recommendations. The printed version of the Directory made its premiere appearance at the Eco Expo in April, 1994. Since then, the printed version of the Directory has grown to a free circulation of 100,000 per year and a distribution territory including counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura. Our upcoming expansion will be to include all of Southern California from Santa Barbara to San Diego including many resources just across the border in Mexico. The Green Business Letter/GreenBiz.com
