August Meeting

WOW!  My how the summer has flown!
Have you enjoyed all the hot, humid, sunny weather?


We will be meeting at the Mill Mountain Coffee & Tea ~ Salem

Come enjoy a cold beverage while conversing with other local Greenies. 
Feel free to bring a friend!
We're super casual!

This month let's talk about whether or not we are driving less than we used to.  Why or why not?  Is Car Sharing a viable option in the Roanoke area?

November Meeting

Do to the upcoming holiday, we'll be meeting this month on Tuesday, Nov. 17th, 2009, @ Panera Bread Valley View, 7:00 PM. I know some of you may already have prior commitments, and I understand that.

Wishing each of you safe travels and the happiest of Thanksgivings!

September's Meeting Topic

It's funny how life works sometimes.
I've been away from the 'green scene' for about a week, and the Universe has redirected me back to it now that I have time to focus once again.

Several people are asking about greening their business. What can they do? What tips/tricks/advice do I have?

These questions came at a great time and I think this is a great discussion for this month's meeting.
Let's start by looking at our office environment. Do you recycle? What do you recycle?
Who participates in the recycling? Do the products in your office have low-toxicity?
Are there any little green lights on when you leave your office at the end of the day/night?
Where did your furniture come from? Is it low-carbon furniture?
Do you have a green library? What sort of items does it contain?
How green are your print materials?
Do you use the web for your advertising?
Do you know the life-cycle of the products and materials you use?
What kinds of green gifts do you give?
