I look forward to Group Members educating me on "Green" Solutions. My profile is self-explainatory. The education will allow me to better understand the challenges facing my clients/prospects.

Dear Green Business Network Members:

I would like to urge all of you to contact your state legislators in the next two days to support pending renewable energy legislation such as SB 300 establishing a Renewable Electricity Standard for Indiana and provisions to improve the net metering regulations. Currently, Indiana is the only state that does not require electric Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) to offer net metering to commercial and industrial customers. For more details on net metering see http://www.indianarenew.org/useful_weblinks.html

More details on the pending legislation and suggested actions can be found at www.indianarenew.blogspot.com

E-mail for more details: lauraarnold@indianarenew.org

Hi Everyone.
I am new to the group and I am a rep for green product lines that are eco-fashionable, as well. As an attempt to learn more about my product lines, I am learning more and more about environmental issues. I am hoping to become a better steward professionally and personally.

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
