This past weekend I volunteered at Opportunity Green 2008, a conference on being green + being profitable (Thanks to Noah for the intro!). 

My reasons for attending were 1) to meet cool people with similar interests, 2) to see what is going on in green business in LA, and 3) to see if there are any cool jobs close by.  By these measures, the conference was a total success (for me anyway!) Amidst the serving out of organic, green-tea sodas and fair-trade coffee in a can, I got to meet very cool people (here, here, and here) and also the owners of one of my favorite restaurants.  I squeezed in a panel on getting funded by Adeo Ressi and Andy Funk, and I even got a few job leads out of the after-party, with its (no kidding) all-organic open bar.
