Sustainable Vision Roundtable 5/28/09

We had our second Sustainable Vision Roundtable on Thursday May 28th, 2009. Twenty members shared their views on positive economic signs from real estate to finance.

We had quite a few speakers:

Glenn Schulkehttp://www.gosolarlife.com/ - demonstrated his line of portable solar photo voltaic products which are designed to recharge cell phones, digital cameras, laptops and even car batteries. He indicated that he's receiving a great deal of interest from military, the forest service, and outdoors men.

Helen Pugh – offered information regarding senate bill SB 1403 which is being supported by her friend and Arizona state senator Barbara Leff. The bill is geared toward job creation in the green industry.

Linda Sloan – enlightened us to the potential dangers of electromagnetic fields which are prevalent in our everyday life. She then offered several products which can help to mitigate potential harm.

Lee Lewis – offered a passionate monologue regarding the need for more common sense approach to energy use and energy resources. Furthermore he discussed energy sources such as wave energy, geothermal energy, heat siphoning, magnetic, and hydrogen in relation to an individual's common sense use of these resources.

Dana Ball and Laura Orsini discussed forming a website that would serve as a clearing house for information and a referral source for quality professionals in the sustainable field. Helen Pugh also suggested forming a Speakers Bureau for those interested in speaking about their specialty.

In general there was a great deal of knowledge shared – done so with vim and vigor and a good deal of humor.
