<p>The above was sent to me as an email and I couldn't find if it was part of a discussion. </p>

<p>My reply; <br/>What about asking customers to pay a little more to support green initiatives in your shop; i.e. putting in a solar panel</p>
<p>Maybe having a specific drink(s) on the menu, stating that $0.25 or a % of each drink sold goes to your shops green-initiative fund. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also came across this site <a href="http://www.transitionnetwork.org/">http://www.transitionnetwork.org</a> </p>
<p>The concept make sense, its local and community based. I wonder if a group of local businesses got together to form a Network? </p>
