[ESSP] Energy and the 21st Century Symposium - April 9

[Steve Roof]

Hi Folks,
  Our entire way of life depends on cheap sources of energy, yet our
cenventional sources are rapidly drying up, and the effects of burning
fossils fuels are damaging our bodies and our Earth.

  There are no easy solutions.  Only smart young people with vision,
energy, and a Hampshire education will save the planet.  But an easy way
to learn a lot more is to attend this very special 1-day conference on
Energy and the 21st Century at Umass on Saturday April 9th.

  Below is the schedule of events, complete info can be found at
