The wonderful people at Business in the Community are getting ready for their annual May Day Business Summit on Climate Change.

Led by HRH The Prince of Wales, The May Day Summit is the largest gathering of companies committed to taking positive action on climate change.  If you're interested in joining in take a look here.

We're also excited and delighted to announce that Business in the Community will be the first community to create a Green Thing Group and will shortly be introducing Green Thing to its corporate members.

Green Thing Groups is an initiative that will allow any group of individuals, including companies, to create their own Green Thing sub-group so that they can galvanise their wider network to help in the fight against climate change.  Green Thing Groups is free .... although you're free to donate ... and is quick and easy to deploy.  We'll of course provide more information on Green Thing Groups over the next few weeks, but if you'd like to register your interest in finding out more then please drop me an email at:  groups@dothegreenthing.com

 

Green Thing Groups is a core part of our intent "to help as many people as possible in as many countries as possible to do the Green Thing ... and then use that people power to get Governments and Businesses to do the Green Thing too ". 

One of the things that has dawned on me over the last few months is that there are rapidly increasing numbers of individuals and businesses showing genuine leadership in taking action against climate change.   I really hope that, as this movement continues to stengthen, we will start to see some genuine political leadership as well - to date IMHO it has been sadly missing.
