That’s important for people hurting from gasoline $4.00 a gallon. For large companies it can build shareholder value, and under the leadership of its Mayor Phil Gordon, Phoenix Arizona is being positioned to be one of the greenest cities in the nation.” NxT Horizon magazine publisher Dr. George Brooks provides additional insight. “Angela’s talk is about more than Green. High energy and waste disposal costs are about to fundamentally change how people live and do business in the United States. Her talk is about helping individuals, homeowners, professionals and businesses to adapt and prosper through this change in the world. Green or Sustainability is the best way to accomplish that task.” “We have learned that many people want to go green but because of so much contradictory information, don’t know how or fear the risk” Dr. Brooks, continued. “In her talk, Angela brings needed clarity so people can go green with confidence. She also provides great models on how to go green including suggestions on how to invest the recent federal stimulus check in green that brings immediate returns. To protect our nation and preserve our quality of life, going green is a matter of personal responsibility. It is time we get to it.” Podcast Link for Pt2.

However, there are options that can alleviate the recession's sting and they are "GREEN." Green or sustainability is the application of environmentally, socially and economically sound solutions or best practices that improve your long-term quality of life. In other words, how do you live better while using less?  On May 22nd 2008 beginning at 7:30am at Tom's Tavern, Phoenix's Mecca for forward thinkers and change agents, Arizona entrepreneur, business consultant and visionary Angela Brooks presented a paradigm shifting lecture on how to use Green to Save Money and Survive the Recession.

Those attending walked away with quick and easy cost saving concepts that could be easily be incorporated into their lifestyle, home, business, organization or community. Finally, they did not leave empty handed. Sample Green Recession Survival Kits were furnished for the attending guests (first come first served).

Howe Mr. Sid Wilson is the General Manager for the Central Arizona Project (CAP), the utility that provides 40% of the water to the 4 million residents of Central Arizona including Phoenix and Tucson. However due to the recent drought, the source of this water the Colorado River, has been running at record lows. The challenge now facing the region is how to continue to provide water while protecting invaluable environmental resources. In years past the solution for such a daunting problem could be years in the making at the cost of millions of dollars in litigation. Recently however, Mr. Wilson has been at the forefront of an innovative effort where the CAP, Arizona and Environmental Groups have joined forces and proposed a solution that is both environmentally sensitive and provides water to the cities. This podcasts is Mr. Wilson's first opportunity to publicly discuss how this groundbreaking model for future environmental challenges was developed. A note for new podcast users.
