Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 5PM - 8:30 PM| at the First Unitarian Church, 220 Winton Rd South, Rochester NY. The Rochester Regional Group of the Sierra Club is pleased to announce its 12th Annual Forum, which will be an interactive event, Transitioning to Sustainable Communities. This is Rochester’s FREE premier environmental event promoting individual and organizational networking. Our speaker, Tina Clarke, has been a consultant with the Sustainability Institute ( www.sustainer.org) and Bill McKibben’s 350.org (www.350.org) and is a certified Transition Towns Trainer (www.transitiontowns.org). She will describe the latest thinking on the “Triple Challenge” of Peak Oil, Climate Change and Economic Instability. She will share inspiring stories, models and methods that communities are using to “transition” to a more resilient future. Following Tina’s presentation, we will form Facilitated Discussion Groups to encourage discussion by all participants, stimulate new ideas, raise questions and explore answers. We hope to spark interest and creative thinking and offer people an opportunity to identify and join an organization working on these issues. The Forum will be on Thursday, April 22, 2010 at the First Unitarian Church, 220 Winton Rd South, Rochester NY. Find out more at: http://newyork.sierraclub.org/rochester/2010Forum.html .
