Just Found Another Group Called Eco-Minds!!

It looks like there is a much broader and similar project called Eco-Minds out there!! We will most likely look into joining forces, as it makes no sense to re-invent the wheel.

The other Eco-Minds is with the Environmental Development Program in collaboration with Bayer.

Eco-Minds Gatherings Happening in San Francisco since 2006!

Eco-Minds was created to expand the opportunities for intimate & collaborative exchanges between conservation, economics, and social justice thinkers. By gathering at local restaurants, cafes, and parks, many cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary exchanges occur on important issues such as sustainability, civic participation, development, private sector ethics, non-profit and public sector initiatives, integrated philanthropy and much more!

Eco-Minds Gatherings help individuals connect with and inspire each other to create positive change and heal their communities via applied initiatives.
