Welcome to EcoChat

EcoChat is a live, interactive web show hosted by Alicia Ontiveros featuring leaders in the green community. Join us every Monday night to learn about news, tips, and trends shaping the green movement.

VIDEO: EcoChat Wrap-up: Walk on the Green Side with Cafe Magazine

Fantastic chat! This show was a great success, and not just because my recording actually worked. It's obvious Rosalinda, Juan, and Alejandro are true ecogeeks with a passion for the environment. If you haven't already checked out Cafe Magazine's green issue, visit Cafe's website to read some of the green articles. You can also find an issue at one of their distribution sites, if you're in Chicago.
