VRA, Inc is a home office/virtual based company that has been in business for 16 years. In 2005, VRA's founder and owner Ross Allard started a ‘grass roots’ water shed project to help address the numerous issues related to a severe Red Tide outbreak. In conjunction with his neighbors, they implemented pesticide and fertilizer reductions using native plantings. This helped draw marine life and wading birds back to the area. Subsequently Ross was approached by Sarasota County to help present the project with other N.E.S.T team members for the 2006 All American Cities Awards AACA in Los Angeles, California.The Sarasota County TEAM won!

Ross Allard proves that a home office can be just as green as or greener than traditional office spaces. Earning recertification in August 2013 by maintaining core environmental program standards, Allard has gone beyond to reduce his environmental impacts. Here are a few ways he has made his business even more green; Ross has a white roof with R30 attic insulation, an eMonitor from Green Business Partner Building Performance Advisors (formerly Dwell Green), low E dual pane skylights, solar shield film on office windows, Energy Star appliances, an air quality monitoring station, plants that reduce pollutants and CO2 levels, LED and low-energy consumption bulbs, and low VOC paint. Skype and Webinars are used for many meetings; traveling only when needed. Allard specializes in “Smarketing Solutions for Business, Community and Planet”. He specializes in social marketing, eco programs, promotional products and philanthropic marketing.
This small-sized service business is part of the Green Business Partnership. The Green Business Partnership (GBP) encourages environmental stewardship in the commercial sector, and recognizes businesses that make an extra effort to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. This collaborative effort includes businesses, business organizations and local governments. The GBP was initiated through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Sarasota County. The program now has roughly 100 local members.
