New York Launches Sustainable Business Network
Over 130 local business leaders and supporters gathered at powerHouse Arena in Brooklyn on January 31 to create the Sustainable Business Network of NYC. The objective of this network is to connect, support and promote NYC owned and operated businesses.
A local network to support a community-based economy in New York is long overdue, according to many of the attendees who represented companies of all kinds. What they agreed upon was the importance of environmental and social responsibility where they live and do business.
Organizing the event were several of the early founders of Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), an international alliance of more than 50 independently operated local business networks with more than 15,000 entrepreneurs worldwide.(www.livingeconomies.org)
