Terry's Billboard Pix from 11-7 cocktail party for Opportunity Green

These photos were shot by Samantha Lloyd-Gordon at last Friday's cocktail reception kicking off Opportunity Green at the eco-friendly Hotel Angeleno.

As I reported in a prior blog, many of the environmentalists I met last weekend at the conference would have volunteered to have the head shaved for an opportunity to explore New Zealand.

I learned so much at Opportunity Green that I plan to start a separate Green blog.  

It turns out that going green is great for businesses because the energy savings ultimately improve a company's bottom line.  Companies including Patagonia, Pangea Organics, Leaf Paper and Walmart are focused on being sustainable and helping other companies move toward sustainability.  Ultimately, what's good for the planet is good for business because clean energy leads to savings that help a white roof with daylight collectors pay for itself quickly.  Walmart sees the value in sustainability and is sharing its knowledge with other stores like Costco and Target.
