I am in the research phase of a buisness that focuses on Health and Sustainability issues in Metro Detroit. One idea I had for a networking event was to create a detroit Chapter of this international movement called Green Drinks http://www.greendrinks.org/
The event is an informal gathering of folks that are interested in meeting up to discuss "green" or sustainability topics. I envision it to be an opportunity to network and also build community. It is important for our region to become more aware of the cost and environmental benefits of engaging a more sustainable lifestyle and way of doing business.
We can all do something to help conserve energy and precious resources. Even if ot means turning down the thermostat at night before bed or turning off the water faucet while brushing teeth or lights off when not in a room. Small steps make a huge difference!
