Wow, Tad and I just attended a great ECAT/ABC Tech networking dinner! There were over 100 people there from all walks of life, who came together to find out this "eco-thing" everyone is talking about. There were 4 predinner sessions and in ours sesion, we got to meet a bunch of the other groups in the city who are doing amazing things to make their working environments more sustainable, while finding a way to balance the planet, people and profits!
E-SAGE had another meeting on February 13th, and we had packed the room at Trimline Design Training Center - thanks to Harold for letting us use the room! If you are interested in courses on sustainable energy, housing or fuel you can find information there.
At the meeting we broke into groups and talked about specific projects that our group could do or help other groups do. The total list is being complied and we will have the full information soon. We also had the feeling that people wanted a bit more structure and wanted to know more about the purpose and goals of E-SAGE. Tad and I got together on Sunday and spent the whole day working it out, and we're proud to share our new mission and vision statements with you. We appreciate your feedback.
Some things to note:
Our next meeting is February 28th at the Village, more details on the calendar. At this meeting we will be starting the skeleton of our resource directory. Bring a list of all the websites, stores, restaurants, books, people, organizations, etc. that already do something sustainable, or provide goods or services that others need to know about. If you can't come to the meeting, email your ideas to us.
Nominations for the Emerald Awards close on Feb 29th. Check out their website for more information and the nomination forms.
