About Creative Citizen
Creative Citizen is a web portal for environmental sustainability that encourages individuals and companies to share and adopt specific solutions for reducing environmental waste. We know that no one citizen can know everything about living responsibly on this planet – our goal is to create an ever-evolving wealth of environmental knowledge and each Creative Citizen is essential to our success. Combining user-generated content, recognition for top contributors and intuitive design, Creative Citizen harnesses the power of the green movement to help individuals create, share and adopt Creative Solutions to everyday problems.
Members of the B Community led us to understand the value of having a non-profit organization keep tabs on companies and verify their quality. When you walk the walk, it's nice to have people notice.
Creative Citizen is the place for solutions, where people can easily find the ways to save money, live green and be well. Creative Citizen tracks the individual and combined effects of adopting solutions in terms of the water, energy, emissions, waste and money saved. We focus on one action at a time, knowing that many small acts lead to massive results.

We know that no one citizen can know everything about living responsibly on this planet - our goal is to create an ever-evolving wealth of environmental knowledge and each Creative CitizenTM is essential to our success.
