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.
