We will typically meet on Saturday at our home in Burlingame …

Simply put, we love beef and support the overall health of our environment, but had yet to see a group that combined both areas into one group. Since the creator of the group lives in the Peninsula, she decided to create The San Mateo Organic Beef Meetup Group for those of us who want to continue being beef enthusiasts in a way that is more supportive of the environment. Do you thoroughly enjoy the consumption of beef and want to support the local sustainable agriculture movement? Then t …

Conversations on Cleantech 2.0 We have seen this picture before. Only a decade ago, Web 1.0 had crashed amid high profile failures and bankruptcies. Billions had been lost.
