2009 PUBLIC AFFAIRS CONFERENCE

Redefining Environment

John Francis, Ph.D., known the world over as the Planetwalker, will discuss how the current environmental crisis is a reflection of worldwide social and economic inequity. His belief that any attempt to resolve the crisis must not only address the scientific issues, such as climate-change and deforestation, but also the humanitarian issues. From peace and justice to everyday civility, Dr. Francis contends that our connection to the earth, as well as each other, is at the heart of the environmental crisis.
