Join the Green Community
Our world is beginning to show signs of springtime once again, and with the season come many opportunities to join together as one to bring awareness concerning the state of our planet. As Earth Day looms, only a month away, we must prepare. We at Sarasota Green Marketplace are doing our bit in part by hosting the Green World Cafe yet again. In March, we look forward to Dr. Joel Hamaker. In April, we look forward to Karen Leonetti from Earth Angel Preschool. Each time the Green World Cafe meets, those in attendence learn a little more about what we can do to save the world, whether it is our little world of Sarasota, or the world on a much larger scale. Every single person is eqipped with the tools to live better. Many people often groan, "If I knew where to get environmentally safe products, I would go green...but I just don't know where to go!" Well, tell your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors, and the man on the street that HERE is the place to go. Sarasota Green Marketplace is the place! Here is where people find the choices they need to better handle the problems of the world, and change begins with choice. So, start with your basic foundations and work your way up the green ladder. If you need help, we are only a phone call or an email away, and if you're able, come on in and see us!
Remember our 7 rules of choosing green:
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Rediscover
Rethink
Re-educate
Re-create
It's so easy choosing green!
Sincerely,
Mary Anne Bowie, FAICP and The Staff at Sarasota Green Marketplace

Our Green World Cafe for March 2008
The Green Bandwagon
Why aren't more people already on the "green bandwagon"? It seems so obvious and natural to us. What are some ideas and approaches we can use to gently, yet effectively get more people around us to adopt a greener lifestyle - for their own benefit as well as the planet's benefit?
Dr. Joel Hamaker will discuss three major categories of the environmental mindset. Then he will lead an open discussion of ways that you can encourage our less-than-green acquaintances, in ways that they will be receptive to adopting an encironmentally friendly way of living. In addition to Dr. Hamaker's insights, your specific ideas and experiences on this matter of persuasion will be invited.
Dr. Hamaker is a psychologist, speaker, long time environmentalist, and author of 101 Great Ways to Relax and Relieve Stress . He helps people enhance their personal growth, inner being, and consciousness.Dr. Hamaker has worked with the US Department of Justice, Georgetown University, Montgomery and Fairfax Co. Government, Mental Health Association, National Society for Performance Instruction, American Red Cross, Adult learning centers, Center for Complimentary Medicine, American Society for Training and Development, Self Empowerment Education Center, service organizations and others.
