Our Watsonville Dispensary is a Certified Green Business

Santa Cruz Naturals is proud to announce that our Watsonville dispensary has become a certified green business. In partnership with the California Green Business Network, we’ve translated our deep passion for sustainability into tangible acts. Our Watsonville (Royal Oaks) store plays a positive role in our North Monterey County community.

Operating as a green business

Santa Cruz Naturals has always operated as a green business. Our roots lie in clean green cannabis production. And our owner, Colin Disheroon, believes in sustainability that permeates our business DNA. 

Our dedication to sustainability runs so deep that it forms the cornerstone of our mission:

 “We’ve made it our mission to serve our community by providing cannabis the sustainable way. From sourcing to sales, we’re driven to change the way cannabis is cultivated and consumed because we believe that a healthier planet makes for happier people.”

What does it mean to be a green business?

It was only natural for us to pursue a green business certification, but what does this mean exactly? 

Well, it means we’re committed to: 

  • Energy conservation

  • Pollution prevention

  • Reduction in carbon impacts related to transportation

  • Water conservation 

These are big topics involving lots of tactics and to show you just what this means in action, take a peek at our abbreviated list below:

Energy Conservation

  • Energy-efficient lighting and controls

  • ENERGY STAR office and break room equipment

Pollution Prevention

  • 100+ products certified by a sustainable cultivation certification

  • Vape battery recycling incentives

Transportation

  • Offset company CO2 emissions through the purchase of carbon offsets

  • Support alternative transportation for commuting

Water Conservation

  • Faucet aerators on all sinks

  • Low-flow toilets

 

What’s next? 

Our Aptos dispensary is up next for certification, and we can’t wait to share our progress.
