Welcome to the online community powered by friends and members of the Chesapeake Sustainable Business Alliance. The CSBA educates the public on the importance of supporting the local economy and encourages businesses and consumers to be environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. Our flagship program- Buy Local Baltimore is the most recognized campaign in Baltimore to educate citizens on the importance of supporting your local economy.
This site was formed to bring citizens together in a private setting to network, share goals, ask questions, find common solutions, and most importantly, to further our sense of community and cooperation toward a common sustainable vision.
Please jump right in, create a profile, and start participating in discussions, posting to our common calendar, and making new contacts!

Having worked in the architectural field for almost 22 years, I’ve gone from doing ink-on-mylar drawings hunched over a drafting table to spending my days on a computer putting together project drawings and specifications, all while having much of the information I need at my fingertips thanks to the internet. All but gone are the days of drawing up plans and running them through an old-fashioned blueprint machine with the special yellow printing paper, sucking in all those nice ammonia fumes.

Kansas's Govenor and Green Energy Posted by Average Voter on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 7:39:09 PM As the Planet Gore article states, Kansas Govenor Kathleen Sebelius is on Obama's short list for V.P., and she is serious when it comes to the environment. “Instead of building two new coal plants, which would produce 11 million new tons of carbon dioxide each year,” Sebelius said earlier this year in defending the state’s decision to nix new coal facilites in west Kansas. “We now know tha

We live in a season of risible "3 AM moments", where the breathless commentariat in this country overhear a strange overseas country's name--perhaps with tales of some military action underway--and rush off towards dim-witted debates about what candidate would better handle that resultant red-phone ringing in the middle of the night (this phenomenon I guess most immediately derivative of Mark Penn's desperately lame "positive ad"). This infantile fare passes f
