As one of the founding organizations involved in the creation of GreenLane Sustainable Business Network, I am proud to extend an invitation for you to attend the GreenLane 1st Anniversary Event this coming Wednesday, January 27, from 6 PM to 8 PM held at the Northwest Community Credit Union Gateway location. Individuals as well as businesses are welcome to attend and learn more about our efforts to create a greener, more sustainable community.

Local business owners and community members interested in going beyond recycling will not want to miss “Reducing Environmental Impacts of Packaging and Products”. This presentation and discussion focuses on the best kept secret—that materials efficiency provides some of the most cost-effective and money saving strategies for a healthy triple bottom line.

Community members are invited to attend at:
1:30-3 p.m., Wednesday January 6, 2010

Time to Re-THINK Re-CYCLING and look at Re-USE!

Today, November 15th, is America Recycles Day (ARD). ARD is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products. Celebrating its 12th year, it has grown to include millions of Americans pledging to increase their recycling habits at home and work and to buy products made with recycled materials.

At NextStep, we are always llooking for ways to take recycling to the NEXT STEP - meaning, what ELSE can we do to make a difference?

Hey everyone,

Some of you asked for my slide show that I presented at the last networking meeting. Here it is.
