Hello all,
Aaron, Matt and myself have traveled to Yellow Springs, OH for the Fourth Annual Community Solution Conference: Planning for Hard Times. We will be vacuuming up information from lectures and workshops, and posting about it for our readers that couldn’t make it out here. Sharon Astyk, one of our contributors, will be presenting on Saturday. We also look forward to the following speakers:
Keynotes: David Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World; Dr. Thomas Princen, author of The Logic of Sufficiency; Richard Heinberg, author of The Party’s Over and Powerdown
Other Speakers: Linda Wigington, founder, Affordable Comfort Institute; Judy Wicks, co-founder and chair, Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE); Sharon Astyk, author, Depletion and Abundance: The New Home Front, Families and the Coming Ecological Crises; Pat Murphy and Megan Quinn Bachman of The Community Solution
Check back for posts and updates from the conference.
