Our 500th Post – The Arts:Earth Partnership

Sep 20, 2010 1 Comment by

It’s hard to believe, but this is our 500th posting, so I want to highlight AEP. We have come a long way from May 2009, when we started as a Blogspot site with a completely different name. Since this site started, GreenGoPost.com has been read in at least 105 countries, and has worked at various events from GRI in Amsterdam in May to Ben & Jerry’s in Vermont next month. The focus at first was my adopted hometown, LA—but last I checked, I have written about great (and not so great) stories in at least 40 countries, from Djibouti to Montengro to St. Lucia—and more are in the pipeline.

Yesterday, as I walked up Pico Boulevard to the Los Angeles Convention Center, a sense of doom overcame me as I saw the crowds outside the entrance on Figueroa Street.   Drat, I thought.  It’s 10:20, it started at 10, and I won’t get into the Go Green Expo.  The place is mobbed, so “green” [...]

The Primer for Hosting a Green Event

Dec 14, 2009 11 Comments by

It has happened to all of us.  You walked into a “green” event for which you paid US$20, stood around bored, and thought, “Should’ve stayed home and freed some space on the DVR.”  True, part of the problem is that online calendars are choc-a-block with such events, and in a down economy, you have everyone [...]
