Last Tuesday we had a fantastic night, with six EcoTuesdays happening around the country!

In San Francisco we had about 75 people at the W Hotel and speaker Brian Gitt, CEO of Build It Green, led a great presentation and Q & A session.

Highlights included a Swedish couple, who live in New York, joining us to celebrate Earth Day. (They discovered EcoTuesday from a listing in the SF Chronicle!) Needless to say, they loved it and are excited to go to EcoTuesday when it happens in New York!

One EcoTuesday participant shared with Nikki, "I got my new job because of EcoTuesday!" and told her how she was able to connect with someone at a company that she wanted to work for through the RSVP list. What a success story!

Patty Nason's Gavaphoto captured incredible images of the night, adding the icing on the cake!

I'm really excited to tell you all about a few things I've been working on - the EcoTuesday Facebook page and the EcoTuesday Flickr page.

They're both great ways to communicate with people you met at an event - and connect with other EcoTuesday participants in other cities! Click here to check out the:

Happy New Year!

Wow - 2007 was a great year! We are thrilled that so many smart, interesting and caring people continue to show up at EcoTuesday each month.

Here are some 2007 highlights we'd like to share:

• The first EcoTuesday event attracted 55 people, and participation grew to approximately 225 people toward the end of the year!
• Participants in Seattle and Minneapolis enjoyed EcoTuesday
• EcoTuesday took place in a diverse range of venues
  We had 11 quality speakers from a variety of areas within the sustainability industry

I'm really excited - we're starting the EcoTuesday Ambassador Program! This means that EcoTuesday will take place in other cities outside of San Francisco.

EcoTuesday Ambassadors are outgoing, well networked individuals or teams of people in cities around the world that share EcoTuesday’s vision for change in the world and are passionate about creating structured monthly networking events for sustainable business leaders to come together.

Is that YOU? Are you ready for to bring this to your city?
