Alternative workplace models – saving money, energy, and promoting creativity and collaboration

Speakers: Matthew Bauer, BetterWorld Telecom; (Invited) Ian Gover, Better Workplace

Roughly 3% of the U.S. workforce telecommutes a majority of the time today, if that number was 50% of those who can, we would cut our carbon emissions in ½, while saving 453 million barrels of oil, reduce 2.1 billion hours wasted in traffic. This session explores the many ways that companies and individuals can bring themselves up to speed with the knowledge worker/broadband economy wave, especially here in the uber connected Bay Area.

Localization movement – the economic argument for keeping it local

Speakers: Linda Currie, Transition Berkeley; Susan Silber, Buy Local Berkeley; Carolina Miranda, Sustainable Business Alliance; Erin Kilmer-Neel, Oakland Grown; Hut Landon, SF Locally Owned Merchants Association

There are numerous studies demonstrating how “buy local” campaigns benefit communities; how support of local retailers, producers, and manufacturers benefits city and citizen wealth; how moving your money to community banks and credit unions better serves entrepreneurs and residents; how it’s friendlier to the planet to source locally; how nonprofits receive more funding from locally-based business; and how promoting local entrepreneurs and business owners verses out-of-town owned chains promotes diversity and healthy, resilient communities. Learn the economics behind the localization movement and how you can personally participate in shifting dollars locally.
