2GreenEnergy Heads to The City
| May 9, 2010 | Posted by Craig Shields under Renewables - Business |
I’m headed for New York later today for a series of meetings — some with people frequently mentioned here. I’ll be having dinner Monday night on the Upper West Side with Rona Fried, whose SustainableBusiness.com has formed a vibrant partnership with 2GreenEnergy to promote and deliver consulting services. From there, it’s across the Hudson for Tuesday’s webinar with financial analyst Bill Paul. Finally, it’s a drive to Boston for a day packed with talks with heavy-hitters in solar.
I’ll give your regards to Broadway.
Sustainable Business Network of Greater Boston – SBN

I just had a marvelous conversation with Loretta White, a deeply committed environmentalist who’s playing a major role within The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Boston (SBN). Founded in 1988, this fine group has been changing the way greater Boston does business ever since, engaging business and community leaders in building economies that are green, local, and fair.
When I got her on the phone yesterday in the afternoon, she told me she’d love to chat, but that she was in Amsterdam. Could I call back tomorrow when she’d be back in the US? Ooops. With eight-hour time difference, it was close to midnight. But Loretta was not the worse for wear. When we resumed out conversation today, I again noticed her unflagging energy level. No jet lag, no whining about the travel, just pure passion for the cause.
I certainly encourage readers to check out their website; I find it amazing how many things can be done to make businesses more sustainable – less based on scarce resources that may not be around forever.
Sustainable Business and 2GreenEnergy

I made another video using Windows Movie Maker just now, to promote our relationship with SustainableBusiness.com. I take a certain joy in making this videos. I know I’m not Steven Spielberg in film-making, nor James Earl Jones in voice-overs — but it really is fun trying to get this done with reasonably good delivery and no major screw-ups.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know Rona Fried and working with her to co-promote sustainable living products and services. She’s extremely bright, as that Ph.D. after her name suggests, but she’s also very dedicated to the cause. Her website has been a beacon of commitment to environmentalism for 14 years. Impressive stuff.
