Green Mondays

GreenMondays to make a difference today!

CleanTech, Sustainability, Environment & Green Business - monthly presentations, networking & idea sharing

What is GreenMondays?

GreenMondays is a new monthly event for those interested in any type of 'GREEN' Environmental and Sustainability issues.

Featuring speakers on CleanTech and Alternative Energy, the Environment and Climate Change, Green Business and Sustainability, It is targeted at Practioners implementing sustainability in organisations, GreenTech entrepreneurs, and anyone else interested in Climate Change and Environmental issues.

WHY the name "GreenMondays" you ask? Well, most people recognise that the debate over whether climate change is happening and if humanity if causing it is over. We all see the many problems climate change is already causing, but almost everyone also disagrees on how to solve them.

GreenMondays is intended as a forum for leading thinkers and Practioners from corporations, NGOs and government, as well as the CleanTech entrepreneurs who are inventing the new technologies. The speakers will share their latest thinking, new inventions and best practices and GreenMondays will provide a forum for lively discussion and debate.

It is our objective that you will leave GreenMondays with new ideas and perspectives and an intention to take action. What will YOU do different next Monday morning to make a difference, save energy and water and live more sustain ably? How do we reconcile economic growth with a low-carbon future? Whats should your organisation be doing?

GreenMondays KickOff a Great Success!!!!

Thank you everyone who came and made the kickoff such a great event. We had 40 people join and even ran out of chairs at the end!

Jon Meier from ERM did a great job sharing some of the well-kept secrets of the environment in Japan and we had a great Q&A session. Networking and many excellent conversations continued for well over another hour at FujiMamas and 10 people continued the debates and discussions at a neighbouring venue even beyond that.

I received lots of good suggestions and requests for future speakers.

SAVE THE DATE - next GreenMonday will be July 28th and we have several exciting speakers to choose from - watch this space for details!
