U.S. Green Chamber Financing Green Projects Panel
Date: October 20, 2011 Time: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Green projects are an increasing percentage of new/current retro fit projects, and renewable energy projects have very attractive return on investment for your balance sheets. However, structuring secure and sustainable financing for green building and renewable energy projects requires more legal creativity and effort than financing other types of more traditional projects.
The U.S. Green Chamber will be hosting a panel of expertise to discuss the possibilities, effectiveness, and guidelines for financing green project discussion Thursday, October 20th, 6-9pm at Mintz Levin.

Turning The Titanic
John Reaves, Ecovolve Partners, U.S. Green Chamber Advocacy Department Leader, San Diego attorney, and environmental policy expert introduces the Fee and Dividend program for addressing global climate change.

A Slant Piece Without a Step Incline
Bravo Peter Byck. What so many others have attempted has finally been realized; a documentary about one of society's most pressing issues sans rhetoric.
Carbon Nation is a fun, easy to digest documentary created to enlighten and motivate the masses. However, unlike most independent, educational films this one is a call to action without the typical propoganda. Sure, the introduction includes many facts about carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are contributing to "global climate change" but it stops there.
