Eco-Entrepreneurship and Making New Friends…

It’s certainly been an interesting day! Earlier I just HAPPENED to stumble across a post at Sustainablog that mentioned a new chat group starting up for people interested in eco-entrepreneurship (called ‘The Super Cool Eco-Entrepreneurs Club’). Sounded great to me – we haven’t really connected with any like-minded (super cool) people so it seemed like a great opportunity to make some new friends and share ideas. For anyone who is interested btw, the group is being organized by Shea Gunther – I’m pretty sure he is still welcoming newcomers. Just fire him an email to let him know you are interested. I think the next chat session is in two weeks time (Oct 29th-ish?).

While I was on Shea’s site I saw mention of another group for people interested in Green Business – GreenBusiness.Net – “An Online Community for Eco Entrepreneurs”. I know I have seen the site before, but unfortunately hadn’t really taken the time to see what they were all about. This time I spent some more time on the site and even signed up for a membership!

I must say it looks like a fantastic resource. The forum appears to be very active, and there is a lot of interesting info there! if you have any interest in green business I would highly recommend joining! I had an email exchange with Jason Trout (the founder) and he seems like a really cool guy as well.

Oh…another interesting find from today (actually saw it mentioned on the Green Business forum) – a new social networking site starting up, devoted to eco-conscious people. Its called Common Circle and it seems pretty cool at first glance. Its still in the beta testing stage, but it seems to be gaining popularity.

Aside from feeling pretty excited about these new resources I’ve found, I’ve also been blown away by how friendly everyone we’ve met thus far has been! I guess its not TOO surprising that people who have a great deal of respect for the earth would also tend to be pretty nice people…hmmmm. Interesting – maybe someone should conduct a study!

Anyway, we’re definitely looking forward to making more friends in the green blogosphere!!
