Sometimes sustainability events are just plain nice. If you are in New York metro, I heartily recommend the "Climb the Green Ladder" book launch party. Shari Aaron has been a Skyped in virtual guest in my seminar on managing for sustainability (invite her to your class wherever you are!) from her Westport, Connecticut, location.
I am certain that clinking glasses with these practitioners and activists and those who they attract will be very pleasant. (Yes, I rue that such events enabling the sort of exchanges that Victorian dinners offered are too few and far between nowadays!)
It's on Thursday, January 21st, 6:30 pm in NYC -- Women Climbing The Green Ladder. All the details are in your invitation which is at:
