Byron Shire has long been home to many innovative, small businesses - whether selling hand-made, organic products or offering energy efficiency, eco-tourism or land restoration services. These local businesses are part of the transition to a ‘green economy’ and understand that we can protect our natural environment, whilst making a livelihood at the same time. Inside, you’ll find eco-tourism operators, artists, retailers, designers and tradies. These businesses are a vital part of our local economy and I encourage you to support them. As consumers, our dollars drive sustainable business practice. The need for a jobs-rich, sustainable economy has never been more important. Many of our local businesses understand this and we’re pleased to showcase them in this Directory.
