Upcoming Events and Activities

  • Gus Speth at World Affairs Council
    What:
    James Gustave Speth has been a leader in the environmental movement for more than 30 years and joins the Council to discuss the failures within the political system toward solving the global environmental problems in time. Speth argues that no matter how hard environmentalists work, the current of destruction against which they are swimming is too swift and so in order to preserve a livable planet for future generations, the current itself must be altered; that is, American-style consumer capitalism.
    This event is co-sponsored by the Earth Island Institute.
