Get Your Green On - Green Networking That Is


OK…the term "green" is WAY overused. We know that. But in this case, it's still cool. To many, the term "Green Networking" is a foreign one. But it's growing in popularity, and many are sitting up to take notice. Green Networking events are generally held at local bars and restaurants, and the attendees are people who are interested in living more green, sustainable lifestyles and/or running green, sustainable businesses. These events are generally held by someone who has a personal interest in sustainability, and/or owns a business in the sustainability industry. Some events have a broad focus, such as Green Drinks. And others are focused on specific topics within the realm of sustainability. We've recently started attending these events, and although we were skeptical at first whether they'd be worth it or not, we were pleasantly surprised. These events were not only productive, they were actually fun! When was the last time you went to a networking event and actually had a good time? That's what I thought.

Check out the Events page on our site for a list of the Green Networking events that we know of, plus some other green events. And if you know of one that we don't have posted yet, please contact us. We reside in Wilmington, so it's tough for us to keep tabs on downstate events. So help us keep this information we'll-rounded. We don't intend to neglect the rest of the state. We promise.
