As the World Burns: Liberating Responses to Global Warming

Super User October 17, 2007 Super User

Tuesday, October 23rd, 7pm at Burlington College
95 North Ave, Burlington, Vermont 

Join us as we take a fresh look at the limits of the current global warming debate and how to move beyond them. Topics will include the human costs of the expanding biofuels industry, the limits of "market-based" solutions to global warming, tools for redefining the "good life," and ways to create a culture of hope. 

Panelists will critique Al Gore’s limited approach to citizen/corporate action and discuss experiences on the ground in Latin America’s biofuels craze.

Brian Tokar is a long time Vermont author and activist, and a faculty member at the Institute for Social Ecology, based in Plainfield. read more
