Dear Friends of the Center - 

You are invited!  to a free presentation I am giving on Thursday evening from 7 to 8:30 pm through Boulder County Going Local's lecture series "The Great Reskilling".  The topic of my presentation is "The Ethics of Sustainable Culture" and it will be held at Boulder Meadows Community Center at the corner of 19th and Violet. Topic description from the BCGL website: 

THE ETHICS OF SUSTAINABLE CULTURE: Feb 28 (Thurs) What would a sustainable human culture look like? What ethics are needed to support human culture indefinitely within a healthy ecosystem? What are the ethics we've been living so far, and what impact has that had on our world? How do we repair the damage and more towards a positive future? How do we change? These and other questions on creating healthy sustainable human culture will be explored in this hopeful, positive talk. 

Run, don't walk.... to get the latest copy of Yes! Magazine (dedicated to building a just and sustainable world).  The latest edition focuses on Stopping Global Warming Cold and it's well worth your time with articles by Bill McKibben and more. There a host of POSITIVE solutions and steps we can all take.
