Post Date: September 11, 2019
Resource Type:
  • short PDF
Description:

The Chinook Book is an annual coupon book that helps you save money at local businesses that do good things for the environment and the community. Covering the greater Minneapolis and St Paul metro regions and the towns and neighborhoods of Hennepin, Dakota and Anoka counties. It is available in both print and a mobile app version (for iPhone and Android) and contains over 400 coupons!

Chinook Book contains businesses that meet our criteria, and great resources for sustainable living including: farmers markets, recycling, local biking & transit, clean energy and green home. Working in collaboration with the Sustainable Development Commission of the City of Portland and Multnomah County, we developed a criteria framework and a product-by-product matrix to help us determine what a 'good' business is. We start with the premise that good businesses do business in a connected way. They treat their employees and suppliers well, they minimize their environmental impact, and they support the community that supports them. We look for ways to measure these qualities, and then we add in a dose of humility and good judgment.

Sections of the Chinook Book include:

  • Dining
  • Entertainment
  • Fashion & Gifts
  • Grocery Products
  • Home & Garden
  • Local Grocery
  • Travel & Recreation
  • Wellness
  • The Chinook Book can be used as a fundraising tool for your school or community organization.

    The Chinook Book is offered locally in the Twin Cities as well as in the San Francisco Bay Area, Denver & Boulder, Portland, Seattle & Puget Sound.
