Conservation Value Notes: July 2008

Thanks to everybody who stopped by our 'Ask a Sustainability Expert' information booth this past weekend at the North Beach Jazz Festival - we had a blast speaking with you about all things green!

I'm just about done catching up on news after being out of the office for much of the first half of the month. Wow, there's just so much positive momentum building towards a more sustainable society now than there was when we first started just a few years ago - it's taking awhile to get all the good stories posted to CVI's online library of sustainability!

Now on to today's news, below. Thanks for reading - much more to come...

Cheers,

Jon

Stop by the North Beach Jazz Festival this Saturday and Sunday in Washington Square Park in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood (click here for a map)! Conservation Value Institute (CVI) is honored to be the festival's non-profit partner for the third year running - a partnership that is sure to provide more green benefits for the festival and neighborhood moving forward now that challenges to the festival's existence have hopefully been put behind us.
