San Francisco Green Drinks
August 4th
“Connect, Collaborate, and Create Solutions”
Hey Green Drinkers!
Please join us next Tuesday, August 4th for the next San Francisco Green Drinks.
Our August sponsors, Matter Network and Rocky Mountain Institute, embody the theme for August: “Connect, Collaborate, and Create Solutions.” Both companies are promoting RMI2009, a conference in SF October 1-3, convening top leaders of business, energy, and security to discuss the most challenging questions of our time. With lively debate, plenary sessions, and workshops, the three day conference will explore effective opportunities in achieving economic growth for an era free of fossil fuels!
This month our sponsors are raffling away 4 passes to the RMIQuest for Solutions Roundtable and networking reception, which is the Friday evening, October 2nd activity as part of RMI2009. Amory Lovins will be hosting a panel of experts to discuss “Reinventing Fire” about getting the world off of fossil fuels. Can it be done? And When?!
August Sponsors are Matter Network and Rocky Mountain Institute
