TOPIC: Why are women leaders in the environmental movement?
PROCESS
We did introductions and then had lively banter about concepts and ideas from the book Women in Green: Voices of Sustainable Design by Kira Gould and Lance Hosey.

		<description><![CDATA[Topic: How To Speak From Your Inner Sustainable Voice - Finding your green roots can help you speak up, communicate your passion and send out positive no's.

We had a fairly healthy turnout seeing it was Memorial Day Weekend and many activities were going on around the city and how beautiful the weather was. Thank you everyone for spending a couple hours out of your Saturday to share in our discussions.

Focusing in and around the topic of saying "No" in a positive way, we started out the discussion on the Yes-No-Yes concept by William Ury and the book The Power of a Positive No. While the book itself is not focused on sustainability, we felt it was an appropriate topic for women who have a tendency of agreeing to too many things in their lives. Overcommitting, finding ourselves in situations where our gut was telling us we shouldn't be there, or not staying on a clear path to what we really need in life – all of these things we can say no to but it 's learning how to do it in a positive way. By giving ourselves permission to say no, communicating it well and standing strong in our inner voice, we can show others what is important to us.]]></description>
