[Joshua Tabin]

Here are my initial thoughts around setting initial discussion tracks for the event:

• Alternative Fuels
• Green Living
• Energy Markets
• Corporate Sustainability
• Potpourri

Thoughts?

Energy efficiency

[William Thurmond]

A few themes come to mind, with examples

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle as a "Room Theme" - examples:
- Reduce - initiatives - local carpooling, carbon initiatives (local and business), mayor's CO2 reduction initiatives
- Re-Use - local initiatives - shopping bags vs plastic, craigslists' "Free" page vs. garbage, etc
- Recycling for The Home/Business - Incentives for locals
- Recycling Waste to Energy - i.e. - From Trash to Cash - Landfill Gas Powergen, MuniWaste2PowerGen, Grease to Biofuels

Green Spaces-Places Theme
- Discovery park and other local initiatives
- HGAC - Houston-Galveston Area Council's initiatives
- Houston plant a tree initiatives

Car-Pooling Theme
- Houston Clean Cities initiative
- Mayor's Initiative
- Work-place initiatives as examples for other organizations

Green for Business vs. Green for Consumers -- What are the markets, where is the growth, breakthrough areas to focus in on...etc.

The role of regulation and government in Green technology development

Regardless, really looking forward to Friday

[Mary Frances Blatchley]

Quinn - did you mean to say Saturday, because that's the day of the event! And Happy Hour is on Thursday! :)
