SpaceShare Carpooling & Green Logistics February Newsletter
- We think you signed up for SpaceShare's once-a-month update.
If not, just reply and let me know.
Growth.
It's easy to pick a theme for the February newsletter: growth.
After an autumn spent improving our website and our system,
Alex Brubaker and
Susan Celli have launched a new outreach effort.
We're signing up big events:
hopefully we'll be at Bonnaroo in the South, Building Energy
in the Northeast, Folklife in the Northwest, and the New
Living Expo hear in California, just to name a few.
Expect 380,000 Festival & Conference travelers to
see SpaceShare's carpooling tools this spring.
Volunteers.
Hi everyone! My name is Caitlin, and I'm a new intern
here at SpaceShare. Right now I'm working on organizing
and coordinating volunteers, so hopefully I will be in
touch with a lot of you soon. We have a lot to do right now
and we need your help and enthusiasm.
Recently we've been lucky to have some great volunteer
help with a couple of our projects. Antonio Facchino has
offered forth his proofreading skills and is also going to
be researching and contacting event speakers to try and get
them to support us, while Shaina Johnson, Peter Stair, Tom
Yamaguchi, and Brian Gardner are helping to proof and edit
documents. For Green Events, the nonprofit we're helping
launch, Sara Lacy crafted a fundraising proposal to Clif Bar.
A big thank-you to you all for the time you're putting in!
As always, there are numerous other projects that we need help
with, so if you're interested in getting involved please
contact me at caitlin@spaceshare.com. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Volunteer Request
Take a look at www.spaceshare.com/green
We plan to put this greening guide in front of
thousands of event planners, tens of thousands of
travelers. Can you help us redesign it? We need
help with researching other greening resources
(from the web), design & writing: a great way
to participate from anywhere.
And a Funding Request
We've launched our greening efforts with very little
money, relying on people rather than cash. But to start
Green Events, we will need a bit of funding, and the
founders of SpaceShare are tapped.
If you would like to donate to Green Events in any amount,
we'd love your assistance.
Can you help? (Tax deductible.)
- A Green Events URL, about $30.
- A banner & tabling supplies, $150.
- A paid intern, $500.

Green Events News
The list of allies who are working to make events greener keeps growing.
Mary Manut just launched Green Mary, composting, recycling and waste diversion for events.
If you know anyone
planning an event near San Francisco, she can help them be greener in
countless ways.
Be the Change,
Stephen
