THE GREENING of CONSUMERS
In Women We Trust – My personal blog highlighting women and actions for a more sustainable planet. Women buy/influence over 80% of consumer goods, as the dominate buyers we have the power and responsibility to select better products with lower carbon footprints across the supply chain. After the world turns green the new economy will be driven by what the female consumer wants.
Big Green Purse – Transforming consumers through education and online activism.
Green Mom Carnival - Women dedicated to blogging, twittering and talking about what green products and services work for them – or not!
MCMilkergroup - Professional blogging and marketing strategies for green consumer goods.
Womego – Educating and connecting the readers of 500 women-owned publications.
JUST for FUN -
Corporate Velocity Made Good - a Performance Play sailing experience that trains teams how to match abilities and attitudes while tackling an unknown skill or task. Think of it as training for a transparent and social media world.
BagBiners - Have you ever shopped with a dozen cloth bags in tow? Bagbiners keep them out of the cart and ready at the register. (It was a pet peeve that I was compelled to fix)
