[Antiracism] [Solidarity Calendar] Energy Summit 6/20-21

[WMass Jobs With Justice]

  <http://cooppower.onlinecommunity.coop/2008-sustainable-energy-summit-1>      See Full Schedule and Workshop Descriptions   

We have six exciting Friday Pre-Summit workshops that are great opportunities to learn and gain green job skills in Solar Hot Water, Solar Photovoltaic, Energy Auditing and Efficiency, Green Computer Systems, Collaborative Community Planning, and Permaculture!

On Saturday we have 36 workshops and dozens of exhibits that will provide hundreds of cost-saving, sustainable solutions to skyrocketing energy costs for homeowners and small business owners, tools for community leaders and ideas for sustainable living. 

Come celebrate Friday night on the 10th floor of the Campus Center with a Carbon Footprint mixer, dinner, keynote Daniel Bosley on the Massachusetts Green Communities Act, and dance to the live Latin music of ConjuntoTipico Sabor Campesino and a mix of dance favorites with DJ Brando.

Keynote David Morris is cofounder and Vice President of the Institute for Self-Reliance, described by Bill Moyer's as one of the "nation's most innovative thinkers" will speak to the need for communities to take action now or be left to beg at the door of multi-national energy giants.

Keynote Carl Anthony is one of the preeminent thought leaders in the United States. He directed the Ford Foundation's Sustainable Metropolitan Communities Initiative and the Regional Equity Demonstration Initiative. He co-chaired a multi stake holder collaborative in San Francisco bringing together business leadership, environmental groups, social advocacy groups, labor, faith based organizations, elected and other public officials. 

Dozens of exciting workshops in the following tracks:

*	Greening Your Home
