Environmental newsletters

In the "Green Space" credibility is crucial, and things are changing rapidly as investment and capital wash in and out of the sector. A great way to stay up-to-date is to sign yourself up for a few newsletters in the area of your interest. Being well-read is also a great networking tool -- you can know who's growing, who's been bought out, and who's making headlines. Use these developments as opportunities to reach out to the companies or people involved and start a meaningful dialogue.
