Why We Blog

When it seems like everyone has a blog now, why should D2E? We want to share our exploration into sustainable living. With the help of our Advisory Board, we are making changes in our personal lives and in how we do business.


We started D2E because we wanted to know the impact of the choices we were making and how to align our dollars with our values. In producing D2E, we understand that the event itself will have an effect on the environment, so we're making careful decisions to reduce our impact. Follow our blog to see what we're learning along the way...
