Inside the Bancroft Hotel’s craftsman-style ballroom, a rare meeting of Berkeley’s green minds occurred on Thursday for the 2008 Sustainability Summit and Green Gathering. Over locally grown and produced wine, beer, an assortment of tapas—and, of course, a small carbon footprint—a who’s who of environmental leaders mixed, mingled, promoted environmentally conscious projects and recognized local organizations for achievements.
Hosted by the Ecology Center and the City of Berkeley’s Office of Economic Development, the 2008 Sustainability Summit and Green Gathering sought to provide an open forum to exchange ideas and name four of the year’s most Earth-friendly projects “Champions of Sustainability.”
