GreenSource Event

Invest Green

Invest Green is an event that can help investors and philanthropists shape a city, a nation, and our world.

Bring your spouse, friends and colleagues! There will be plenty of wine and hors d'oeuvres. Here is a message from the catering company, Wild Thyme: All ingredients are locally grown from some of our favorite farms to include Weiser Family, Jaime Farms and Earthbound Farms. This menu includes organic fruits and vegetables, farm raised cage free chicken and grass fed pork and beef.

The event is designed to showcase success stories and the integration of technologies, products and services that comprise what we call the “sustainability economy”. This is an economy that depends not on finite resources, but on renewable resources and the elimination of the concept of waste. Also, to develop an industry based on these principles requires more innovation and capital than perhaps one can imagine. Fortunately, capital investments in an emerging economy produce tremendous returns for many investors and contributors.
