Green, meet Blue.

One of the great opportunities about making a move out to the west coast, specifically the Bay Area, is the tremendous number of people and projects focused on sustainability and progressive approaches to how our natural and man-made systems interface. Last night I attended the tremendously popular San Francisco Green Drinks. My former Ecosa classmate Nick Aster & his operation Triple Pundit, co-sponsored yesterday's event and I had a great time; obviously because of the social atmosphere but also because of the multiple individuals that I met that are so passionate about making the world a more sustainable place. Though these pages are usually dedicated to more coastal issues & material, I feel that stronger links need to be made between the "green" & "blue" worlds. One of the reasons I began the site is to try and play a part in making that happen. I'm really looking forward to continuing the conversations started last night and hope to hear from folks soon. As I've mentioned before, collaboration and networking is what Coastopolis is all about so feel free to voice your opinions or comments to get the conversation rolling.
