MAKING GREEN:NET GREEN
MAKING GREEN:NET GREEN In an effort to minimize the environmental footprint of today’s event, we have undertaken a program to “Make Green:Net Green.” We’ve worked with our suppliers to choose environmentally preferable goods and services whenever possible and to minimize the waste, energy use, and carbon footprint of this event. GREEN PRODUCTS Today’s food ingredients are predominately organic, seasonal, and locally grown. The chicken is from Petaluma Poultry, which raises organic, free-range chickens using sustainable farming methods, and the fish is from Monterey Fish Market, a local sustainable fish market. Beverages are predominately local and artisanal, including local beers, organic wines, organic and fair-trade certified teas, local water, and juices. Coffee is provided by Taylor Maid Farms, which is organic, fair-trade certified and shade-grown coffee produced by small family farms. All catering service items including flatware, plates, napkins, cups, lunch boxes, tea bags and food wrappers are compostable products from Eco-Products. The program guide is produced using Mohawk FSC paper, which is made from 100% post consumer waste and is 100% recyclable, and the venue signage is printed on BioBoard which is made from 63% post consumer waste and is 100% recyclable. REDUCING WASTE We are working to minimize waste created by our event, but we need your help! Most of the items provided today can be composted or recycled: Compost: cups, napkins, plates, utensils, drink stirs, lunch box and contents, soiled paper and food containers, teabags, food Recycle: all beverage containers, glass, plastic, cans, newspaper, cardboard, yogurt containers

HOW MUCH ENERGY DID YOU CONSUME TODAY? WattzOn is a free online tool to quantify, track, compare and understand the total amount of energy needed to support all of the facets of a person’s lifestyle, with the goal of helping them find ways to reduce their role in climate change. WattzOn shows users the baseline power that their lifestyle requires and provides visualizations demonstrating the magnitude of their energy needs. To calculate the energy you consumed today at Green:Net, go to: http://greennet.wattzon.com
CARBON OFFSETS 100 percent of the carbon emissions associated with Green:Net – including attendee travel and on-site electricity use – have been offset through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. The offsets purchased for this event support the Sun Edison Anderson High School photovoltaic solar project in Cottonwood, Calif. The offsets are Green-e Climate certified, and have been reviewed by three independent environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council. For more information, visit www.b-e-f.org
This year’s first annual Green:Net conference is the first green conference for the Internet community, and we’ve brought together entrepreneurs, investors, policy-makers and execs from IT firms, to focus on how the tools created in the Internet, computing and IT revolutions will be used to fight climate change. We’ll focus on a variety of topics — from energy management software to the next-generation of the smart power grid, to using web communities to create social movements, to more energyefficient data centers. Our amazing list of speakers will provide valuable insights into this timely and important intersection. We’re also bringing together 10 little-known startups that are using IT tools to fight climate change. Whether they’re toiling over hardware that tracks energy consumption or creating a web-based marketplace for energy-efficient tools, these 10 startups will be launching their ideas in today’s LaunchPad — some of them for the very first time. We’re so glad you could join us today. Now that the planning is over and the agenda is in motion, we really do hope you’ll help us take it from here, by making the day one where you seek out new connections and stimulating conversations. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to further that experience. And now...on with the show!

WELCOME
Amidst an unprecedented global economic downturn, a U.S. political agenda that has pushed climate change to the forefront, and an era of booming cleantech innovation, IT tools have emerged as a crucial way to fight climate change. The U.S. government is spending billions of the stimulus package on digital tools to make the power grid smarter, and Fortune 500 companies and utilities are looking to IT tools to manage energy consumption that can cut both costs and carbon emissions. It will be the innovators who built — and continue to evolve — the Internet and modern-day computing that will deliver this IT-inspired innovation.
