Social Media + Sustainability

Social networking, blogs, and online video are open, transparent and collaborative, allowing innovation to grow at unprecedented speeds. Learn how consumers, activists, and entrepreneurs are leveraging the power of the social media to create a sustainability revolution. Hear breaking stories on how the Internet is being used for microlending, localization, citizen journalism and corporate accountability. Shepp, a new media expert, will help you see a vision of the near future.

This will be an interactive session. Bring your smart phone/mobile device to participate.

The architect of President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign reveals how it all happened--and how it will revolutionize our politics. David Plouffe not only led the effort that put Barack Obama in the White House, but he also changed the face of politics forever and reenergized the idea of democracy itself. The Audacity to Win is his story of that groundbreaking achievement, taking readers inside the remarkable campaign that led to the election of the first African American president.

Earthsite's Co-founder Stacie Shepp joined the Green Chamber of Commerce board in October 2009.

The Green Chamber of Commerce is a growing and diverse business network dedicated to: promoting the success of it's members, supporting the development of sustainable business practices, and advocating for a green public policy.

With major businesses such as PG&E and Apple withdrawing from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in opposition to its stance on climate change, more businesses are looking to alternative organizations to represent their values. The Green Chamber of Commerce is offering just that.

In addition to promotional and educational opportunities, the Green Chamber of Commerce offers a strong voice in favor of environmental policies such as AB32, California’s Global Warming Solutions Act, which sets important emissions-reduction goals. The Green Chamber’s membership includes businesses from various industries whose driven and energetic leaders are committed to supporting and doing business with companies and organizations that share their vision of a sustainable and thriving economy.

Earthsite is happy to announce that we just became a member of the Green Chamber of Commerce.

To celebrate, we'll be hosting a Green Business Gathering.

Join us for an evening of networking, delicious local food from Good Earth Natural and Organic Foods and refreshments.
