Short notice for a neat event:

Today and tomorrow (1/25-26) the University of Texas is hosting the Sustainable Business Summit. Here is the description:

Through speaker panels, interactive workshops, a sustainable product fair, a conference luncheon, and hands-on activities, we will analyze the best practices of companies who have integrated green strategies into their vision and discuss emerging business innovations that will help businesses ensure future success.

Attendees will interact with local and national business leaders and faculty experts. The panels will focus on the important environmental issues that face businesses in the 21st century, and the economic opportunities therein. Half of the event will be hands-on learning opportunities, from green venture launch coaching to an alternative fuel vehicle car test drive.

The summit will move beyond making the business case for green business and will arm participants with the tools for implementation.
