Gatlinburg Goes Green Program
for Chamber Members!

Our voluntary program that recognizes Member businesses that have made a commitment to continuously improve their operations in order to reduce their environmental impact. This program allows Member businesses to evaluate their operations, set goals, and take specific actions towards environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The Gatlinburg Goes Green! program is the product of a group of concerned business owners and citizens of the City of Gatlinburg who are dedicated to keeping Gatlinburg a Great Place to Live, Work and Visit. With Great Smoky Mountains National Park, an International Biosphere, as our backyard that millions of guests visit each year it is important that the environmental impact from the human kind is as little as possible. This program in its initial conception is only a small step towards making a green difference. However, the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce along with the Green Workgroup will be a continued voice in the community and will continue to educate Chamber Members on the continual steps necessary for improving their businesses environmental impact. If you are a Chamber Member and you wish to sign up to make your commitment, please click on the links below to print out your forms or contact Erin Moran for more information at 865.436.4178 ext 123 or by email at erin@gatlinburg.com.
