From Stewart Brand:
The environmental movement has moved on. It has become so deep and wide that it adds up to something new entirely, still unnamed. Whatever it is, it is now the largest movement in the world and the least ideological. Driven by science and patience, it is civilization-scale therapy.
So says Paul Hawken in a landmark address he will make this Friday evening, Oct. 15, in San Francisco.
Paul Hawken, "The Long Green," Friday, October 15, Fort Mason Conference Center. Doors open at 7 pm for coffee, books, and conversation, lecture promptly at 8 pm. Admission free ($10 donation very welcome, not required).
Paul Hawken co-authored the now classic NATURAL CAPITALISM with Amory Lovins and also wrote THE ECOLOGY OF COMMERCE and GROWING A BUSINESS. He co-founded a great garden company, Smith & Hawken, and a great organic food company, Erewhon. He chaired the introduction of The Natural Step to the US and currently is creating several companies for Pax Scientific.
I'll be there -- if you attend, be sure to say hi.
