CNU Sustainable Communities 2008, Sept. 26 in San Francisco

As top politicians call for more drilling and the Congress contemplates drawing down the national oil reserve, CNU thought you might appreciate a more substantive discussion on how to pull America away from its dependence on oil.  Join CNU at Sustainable Communities 2008 for a discussion on how to transform our cities and town into walkable, transit-supported neighborhoods.

Sustainable Communities 2008 will bring together leading innovators Sim Van der Ryn, Paul Hawken, Peter Calthorpe, Stewart Brand, Jerry Brown, Jacky Grimshaw, Judy Corbett and Peter Schwartz for a rare one-day seminar on the past and future of sustainable communities.

This incredible group of people introduced and advanced many of the innovations that formed the backbone of the green building sustainability movements beginning in the 1970's.  They helped show that environmentalism must extend beyond quick technological and temporary fixes to encompass a comprehensive vision for human habitats - sustainable cities and towns.

Now it's becoming clear again that our future depends on designing communities that help us overcome fossil fuel dependency and limit our global environmental impact.  And it's becoming just as clear that California can lead the nation if it gets passage of SB375 legislation, implementation of AB32 and other key measure right.  Participants in Sustainable Communities 2008 are the ultimate guides to the transformation we must make to move forward the thrive.  Join CNU for this event's lectures and important interactive afternoon session devoted to the future of sustainable communities and the government policies that will support them.
