Next Meeting - Thursday Nov 20th
Join us for the next meeting of the Lincoln Bioneers Community!
Thursday, Nov 20th, 7pm, Meadowlark Coffeeshop, 17th and South
We'll talk about the fantastic 2008 conference that many of us just attended, and then listen to one of the speakers, Rick Reed, via DVD.
Rick Reed is a senior advisor to the Garfield Foundation, leading its collaborative clean energy project, RE-AMP (a community of 10 foundations and 70 NGOs using system-mapping and shared learning to align their clean energy strategies across seven states in the upper Midwest). Thanks, in large part, to RE-AMP’s activities, governors throughout the U.S. heartland, in late 2007, committed themselves to reducing global warming pollution from their states by 80% over the next 40 years. With a background in organic farming and molecular biology, Rick has been working in the fields of philanthropy and sustainability for nearly 20 years.
See you there!
