eBay Green Team

In 2007, the eBay Green Team started as a grassroots effort by a small group of passionate eBay employees who wanted to make our company a truly green place to work.

Since then, we've accomplished a lot — from small actions like eliminating Styrofoam cups in break rooms to much larger efforts like encouraging eBay to build a large solar installation at our San Jose, California headquarters. We've grown into a group of more than 2,400 eBay employees in over 23 countries, all supporting environmental causes in local communities and promoting sustainable business practices within eBay.

As the world's largest marketplace for used, refurbished and vintage goods, eBay's biggest opportunity lies with its buyers and sellers—the millions of people that make up the eBay community worldwide. So in March 2009, we invited the eBay community of buyers and sellers to join in our efforts. After just six weeks, the Green Team was 100,000 members strong, and we're still growing. (We're pushing more than 225,000 now!) We want to harness the power of our community to help the world make smarter, greener shopping decisions.

Join us in making a positive impact on the world.
