Bay Area Green Meeting Network
This group was founded after a talk by Shannon Kilkenny at the Spotlight Expo inspired a group of event planners to keep the conversation and momentum going. Join in and help us green events like conferences, expos, meetings and celebrations.
The GMIC is an organization that at least some of the initial members are fans of and recommend you look at, but we'd like a local chapter. Add your comments to help direct this group... what would you like to see?

Submitted by Humblebleed on Fri, 2008-05-09 01:48.initially I need a safe place to live. Shelter and food. I want to participate in positive initiations of green culture. As a homeless 24 year old i find myself taking care of the necessities. I want room to explore artistically, painting and making music, which is a spiritual pre requisite for my contentment and well being. TO be apart of a larger solution for the problems is something I've been working out for a while. I participate in volunteer locations.
just interested

Submitted by TreeMonster on Sat, 2007-11-24 04:14.I have been taking a class at SRJC Petaluma campus this semester. I live in Novato, the next town south of Petaluma. Still, without a car, it has been a hassle getting to and from school. I have tried arriving on the bus, but Sonoma County Transit or Petaluma Transit (not sure which one) is, pardon my french, shit. I wonder if I could play a role by just spreading the word to college kids in similar situations. I will be taking calsses at College of Marin next semester, so I could do some networking there, too.

Submitted by Laurie Sage on Sun, 2007-11-18 06:17.Hi, I'd like to organize my largish church with a parking problem go green and organize carpooling. We are in Santa Cruz, and we really have a group of dedicated folks who want to try something, but don't know where to begin. I always check your rideboards to see if I can carpool ( I have both driven and been a passenger) to green events and stuff like Earthdance and would like to see SpaceShare at more events because the idea is good- start with what you've got and go from there; it's how all good changes come about.
Lunch?
So I suppose I might have a more creative suggestion but I don't. Should we all meet for lunch sometime in September, at some affordable and green restaurant? Is San Francisco the most accessible to the most people?
green guide for individual travelers
Submitted by lauramccaul on Wed, 2007-08-15 22:38.Start by carpooling if you can't walk, bike or take public transportation!
If you are driving, try to fill your empty seats, make sure your tires are fully inflated and don't drive too fast to avoid wasting gas. (http://www.scdhec.net/recycle/html/greendrv.html) has tips and information for green drivers.
If you live nearby, can you host someone staying overnight? Use spaceshare.com or craigslist.org to offer a room.
For food, bring your own reusable mug, plate, utensils & napkin.
Little artistic idea: Bring your own name tag!
