EcoTreadsetters

The new Facebook?



Tire maker Yokohama launched EcoTreadsetters as a new green advice social network on September 17.

One tidbit I did not know: Laptops use up to 80% less energy than desktops.

Thanks Treadsetters!

Green Drinks!

Looking for some green camaraderie? Check out your local chapter of Green Drinks!

"Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up for a beer at informal sessions known as Green Drinks. We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome."


An international phenomenon, you should be able to find a relatively local chapter. My co-workers and I enjoyed September's Green Drinks in the City of Sonoma (granted, we were the youngest patrons there, but I don't think that's always the case).
