Our generation faces the greatest moral and political crisis in human history. Will we take the steps necessary to avert catastrophic global warming?

Peachtree City, GA (PRWEB) July 04, 2012

The 3rd Annual Green Initiatives Conference is taking place September 27th-28th, 2012 at the Luxurious Dolce Hotel & Resort Peachtree City, GA just 25 miles south of Atlanta.

The theme for the 3rd Annual Green Initiatives Conference is “Sustainability Strategies that are GOOD for the ENVIRONMENT & GREAT for your BOTTOM-LINE”.

To this end we are proud to have Robert F. Kennedy JR, Visionary Environmental Business Leader & Advocate, as our Headline Speaker for 2012 as well as a number of other top Sustainability and Environmental Executives from Companies like American Airlines, Home Depot, Pacific Gas & Electric, Bayer Material Science, CA Technologies, Coca-Cola and Ingersoll Rand.

“Apart from this being a C-Level Summit at which some of World’s top Executives congregate to network, our goal for this 2012 Green Initiatives Conference was to create a program that would highlight successful “green initiatives” with a solid bottom-line focus as a starting point, then further filter this down to ONLY those initiatives that have tangible and measurable environmental benefits that can be easily replicated by any company in just about any industry,” said Mitchie Mutyambizi, Marketing Manager at Fidelity One Conferences

In advance of the conference, several speakers provided insights into what sustainability means to them. Full podcast recordings can be found on the Green Initiatives Conference home page.
