Climate change author leads Green Drinks discussion
Join the Triton College Sustainability
Center for Green Drinks from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, in Room
B-223 of the Student Center.
Green Drinks is an international network that
encourages networking opportunities to discuss sustainability. This free and
open to the public event will feature guest speaker Tom Stoner, a former energy
entrepreneur who authored the book "Small Change, Big Gains: Reflections of an
Energy Entrepreneur."
Stoner will discuss how climate change mitigation is
possible and will result in a more prosperous pathway to a sustainable future,
as he answers such questions as:
- Is the very nature of business in
conflict with the environment?
- To address climate change, will
the United States have to incur a massive public bailout to transform our energy
economy?
- What are the top three calls to action for
environmentally conscious college graduates?
Stoner is also the
founder of Project Butterfly (www.projbutterfly.com), a research organization
dedicated to finding business solutions to climate change.
The event
will have a cash bar for individuals 21 and over, and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
