About Us

About GreenBizCafe

GreenBizCafe aims to be a place for discussing ideas about the coming "Global Age". We particularly want to give small business people the opportunity to talk about their ideas – ideas about how businesses can prosper and how they can contribute.

The articles here are not meant to be authoritative scientific or academic papers – they are opinions and ideas intended to be the basis for discussion.

About Me

Me

My name is Peter Thorogood. I live in Sydney, Australia and I’m married with two adult sons.

I studied science and philosophy before embarking on a career in IT and worked as a programmer and consultant in big business and government before opening a computer sales and support business with my partner. We have now sold that business and are developing Aussie Renewables (www.aussierenewables.com.au) – a site Australian renewables news and events.

I have been developing web sites, both for business clients and as a hobby for more than ten years.
