Green Business Roundtable

Wed, 04/09/2008 - 00:00 — Kent Ford

It was my sit-up-in-the-middle of the night idea... doing a better job of networking the environmentally concerned part of our community.

When I launched it, I had no idea if ten people would show up. That was back in 2002, here in my hometown of Durango. Now we have an average of 100 attendees per monthly luncheon meeting, making us the largest business "club" in town.

In short, the Green Business Roundtable helps INSPIRE, EDUCATE, IMPROVE and NETWORK the business community on environmental issues through a monthly lunch networking event. Through gentle peer pressure, we aim to improve our individual and company contributions to sustaining the environment.

To elaborate, the idea is to mimic the systems used by Rotary and other service clubs to influence the community. The idea is simple:
*We gather to enjoy lunch and network with other conservation minded business leaders.
*We want to improve our own and our companies contributions to sustaining the environment. So hopefully we can exert some good peer pressure on each other to take back to work.
*We want to improve our voice in the community.

Are you just experiencing

Are you just experiencing sharp pain, caused by wear and tear rather 640-802 than one incident? Impingement syndrome is a sharp stabbing pain on the front of the shoulder, about an inch down. This is often caused by poor shoulder positioning (slouching), poor flexibility, and poor rotator cuff control. To avoid or relieve impingement syndrome, a common cisco training complaint of paddlers, it is important to stretch the shoulder, utilize proper posture and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. On the bright side, impingement pain tends to respond quickly to therapy. Go see a shoulder savvy Physical Therapist for a few sessions and a quick recovery!
