Viviana, I too was inspired by the West Coast Green Event. I loved many of the companies that you listed and was excited just by the thought that the entire event was happening!
I am particularly interested in the Energy Audit company HomeZ – the CEO was a fantastic woman who had vision and the energy to make it happen. Kym

I’m working with a green bank called ShoreBank, to promote their Online High-Yield Savings Account. Please contact me directly if you would like to know more about ShoreBank’s dedication to the environment. Thanks!
