It's only a month away before fifty of the top faith based liaisons to the white house will gather in beautiful sunny Orlando, Florida at our host hotel, The Hilton Bonnet Creek. Guest Host Cheryl Hill (Gods Green Africa President) and myself will be hosting the event for our fifty guests and will be introducing them to the Gods Green America Team! We will have a round table event with President, Thom Black, Green Experts Phil Thompson and David Brown and Pop Culture Director Jaeson Ma. Our guest speaker will be:
John Picard one of the preeminent environmental consultants in North America. Picard was one of the first members of President Clinton’s Greening of the White House team that developed innovative upgrade recommendations for the complex. He recently signed on to serve as Sustainability Consultant for the city of Greensburg, Kansas for Planet Green's major programming initiative Greensburg, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Craig Piligian and will be playing a major on-screen role throughout the 13-episode series that will be broadcast on The Discovery Channel, Planet Green, TLC, and The Science Channel. Mr. Picard has been published in major trade publications and books and has been a keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies, universities and technology events. He has received awards and honors in the fields of architecture, energy and environmental science. Picard is an advisor to Discovery Channel’s Planet Green, a founder of Zero+, an affiliate of C Change and is a recipient of the 2008 Oceana Award.
To top off the event our own Gods Green Home Executive Director, Tammy Maltby and I will be doing a food presentation featuring the best in organic cooking! How fun will that be and all right there on stage! Right now I am getting the invites out, and working with Megan and Talia to get the conference planned. I am very excited to meet these faith leaders from all over the US!
Also joining us will be our own Maddie Green and Jonny Jerym the Green Traveler to take us to the street happenin's and give us the real "green" update!
So stay tuned weekly for the Sunflare Weekly update. I'll keep you posted on how things are progressing with the micro summits, and what's green and what is not. For instance did you ever think of using hand towels in the kitchen instead of paper towels? Yea, I know. So easy and yet not something I ever thought about until I became a caretaker of the earth. Hoping to get Nashville to start offering recycle options when they pick up trash. We are way behind the times here. Let me know if your city offers it and if you have insights on how to get a city to "go green".
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
Sunflare (Michelle Borquez)
