Biznet has partnered with Facility Matrix Group, Curve Detroit, and Herman Miller on The Greenwerks Project to help bring realistic sustainability to our future (particularly with the workplace).

From the site:

Our goal with the Greenwerks Project is to help businesses and professionals take action and make steps in the right direction. We’ll be sharing ideas, highlighting new products and sharing our experience with office environments, marketing and business.

Here’s what Greenwerks is:

• a lens
• a strategy
• the longview
• sustainability
• progress
• moving forward

The project launched last night with a debut party featuring the green office spaces of Facility Matrix Group and Curve Detroit. I was ultra impressed with their spaces, which included dry-erase paint, sustainable furniture options, and even a living wall! Each detail rocked–from the valet to the sliders! I apologize for the few photos; I’m sure Charlie Wollborg will post more soon!

I’m the type of person who values a great network–of people that is. My goal is to provide enough value to others that they don’t mind sharing their insight with me. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have a network who has taught me a ton and boosted me up. I encourage you to find your own network that does the same for you–and check out/join mine!

• @shannonpaul: Shannon Paul–She’s a PR rockstar, and (often) the second half of my brain. Shannon is always blogging great insight into public relations and social media, and posts links so I remember to visit.
• @charliecurve: Charlie Wollborg– If it isn’t hilarious insight to what’s going on in metro-Detroit, it’s remarkable branding and advertising advice pouring from his blog and tweets. (Yes, that sounds as cow-sexy as I meant it.)
• @drewie123: Alex Drewinak– Alex is Rebtel’s loudest voice in social media. Not only does he share my enthusisam for social media marketing in his blog, he continues to demonstrate how social media knows no boundries–he’s in Sweden.
• @jwphillips: John Phillips– He’s a young entrepreneur teamed up with a couple others to build websites. He’s the kind of guy you can complain to about a font type without getting laughed at.
• @kenburbary: Ken Burbary– Ken is one of those kind of guys you can always learn something from. His creative perspective and technical expertise is something I admire.

…and @mpiccinato wants to be on this list of rockstars; but I think that’s cheating (since he’s on the Biznet team)
