| Description This pivotal new book investigates trends and uncovers a powerful engine of change, telling the inspiring stories of individual citizens, families and community groups that have achieved unlikely victories in the fight to bring environmental sustainability and economic fairness to such vital areas as water management, food, toxics, urban renewal, clean energy, and local politics. Co-authors Danaher, Biggs and Mark are intimately involved in the movement they write about. Kevin is a co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange, co-producer of the popular Green Festivals, and the author of eleven other books. Shannon, a former university lecturer, directs the Local Economy Project at Global Exchange. Jason, dubbed a "rebel with a cause" by Time, is a journalist-farmer who edits the environmental magazine Earth Island Journal and co-manages San Francisco's largest urban farm. They firmly state, "The green economy is no longer some quaint sideline. It is the most rapidly growing sector of the economy." Come hear why - and how to participate. 7:00 PM |
