Snow Emergency

Winter has officially landed in Minneapolis as well as the first snow emergency! Although, the weather doesn't seem to be slowing down Twin Cities Green customers thank goodness... we Minnesotans are hearty! The Saturday before Christmas is always hoppin'. I love our customers. The green community is generally friendly and warm folk. It's very rewarding to watch people find that perfect gift and see the relief on their faces when their shopping is done! As soon as the Holiday season settles down, I want to get on finding a crew of people to contribute to this blog. I think it could be a great sounding board for local green individuals to share their opinions, thoughts, advice, and input.

Twin Cities Green Map!

So I had this idea, laying in bed the other night... when most of my best ideas come to me... to create a website that would help folks who are green, concerned about environmental issues, or want to shop or eat in a way that is less impactful on the world. A map (courtesy of Google) would be the featured tool - implementing a system of icons to identify different green opportunities: shopping, dinging, home improvement, clothes, etc. Along with the map will be links, a blog, discounts and offers, and possibly a calendar. Different green related companies would be able to sponsor different size logo ads. We'll see how it develops and grows.
