This week we are off to West Coast Green, the largest convention for green product and service providers on the West Coast.

On October 1, 2 and 3 the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco will be a hub of sustainable building products and energy efficient equipment.

Speakers from many “green” disciplines will update the sustainability community on their latest thinking and breakthroughs.

West Coast Green has a trade show that is open to the public.  Please see their website for more information.

The whole team is looking forward to giving the endependence community an update on the latest happenings.

The way to achieve endependence, energy independence that ends dependence on polluting fuels, is for the people, businesses and government to work together.

Here is an example of our new President’s understanding of this reality:

Obama announced he had signed a presidential memorandum directing the Energy Department to get moving on energy standards for appliances, including a first batch he will order to be finalized by August. The fact that Obama is getting directly involved in speeding up household appliance standards underscores how much he wants to show quick, clear progress on energy — part of a broader campaign promise to deal with economic and energy concerns all at once.
