Green rock stars Lovins, Hawken, Begley to speak in April
Friday, March 28th, 2008If ther
e are green rock stars in the national sustainability movement, three of them are coming to Seattle/the Pacific Northwest in April.
On guitar, there’s Amory Lovins, CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute, who will speak about profitable solutions to oil, climate and proliferation at Seattle’s Green Festival on April 12-13. Lovins’ talk is at 3 p.m. on April 12.
On vocals, there’s Paul Hawken, who will speak about “how the largest social movement in history is restoring grace, justice and beauty to the world.” Hawken, basically the U.S.’s guru of green guru’s, will headline Cascadia’s Living Future Unconference in Vancouver, B.C., April 16-18. His talk on April 16 is FREE! And open to the public.
And on drums, there’s Ed Begley Jr.(of HGTV series Living with Ed-fame), who is the keynote speaker at the AIA’s Regeneration 2008 conference. (P.S. check out the picture of him on his Web site!)
These conferences (and others) feature a whole host of other well known backup singers and knowledgeable speakers, but these three are the ones that will draw the crowds.
I for one will be at all three. Will you? Who are you most excited to hear speak, and what do you hope to learn?
