Green Business Challenge Feb Meeting

We had another meeting today on Loudoun County's Green Business Challenge this morning.   Loudoun County's Chamber is working hard to get recognition for green businesses, so if you're a neighbor in the County, let me know and we'll help you out.   There is no charge for this challenge or our help, the whole idea is to come together to save energy, and oh by the way, save money.

Here's the pdf to get started.  If you are curious, the Chamber is planning a kickoff breakfast for any interested business to explain how this works.  We hope to follow that up with hands-on workshops, to help each other get our businesses through the challenge.  Pencil in April 16th for the first event (well, probably April 16) and send me an email (mdwyer at dwyer dot com) if you want to be attend.   

We are also starting an online community for this challenge to help solve problems as they come up.  I hope we can share success stories as well as solve issues as this goes along.  If you have any opinions on this, I'd love to hear them.

LoCo Green Business Challenge

Loudoun County kicked off a Green Business Challenge today, so we signed up and went down to the County Boardroom down the street to see how to participate.  County Supervisor Andrea McGimsey and Loudoun County Energy Manager, Najib Salehi, were leading this effort with Tony Howard of the Loudoun Chamber of Commerce, and several County and local business people.  

My only question was how do we help each other?  Not just the 50 people there today, but in ALL our counties/countries.  I think one of the answers is social media, or a blog, or a website, but there was little movement today to arrange that.  Perhaps the Chamber can do that, so perhaps I should join and share some energy.  And meanwhile, I need to set up a meeting with our landlord and see if we can all save some energy, and do a better job at recycling.  Nothing we have not practiced before, but fun to get some points for it.
