I know I said I was speaking on the 12th of April, but I lied to you. It's April 13th folks. Main Stage. 1 PM. At the Washington Convention Center. Seattle Green Festival. "Green Gone Wild - Seattle-Style."
I swung by today and the place is gorgeous. What a great set-up they have! Mayor Greg Nickels, who has been very vocal on climate change, will be doing the opener for the Green Festival. He's also proposed a disposable bag (both paper + plastic) tax, which hopefully will get passed.
Seattle is buzzing this week. I know his Holiness, the Dalai Lama is in town too, so there is plenty to do and see this week.
If you want to have some fun and get some knowledge, drop by my talk. Bring your banners and bring your rowdy on, because I'm not about to give a canned talk.
For Green Gone Wild, I'll cover issues ranging from sustainable fashion, environmental activism, sustainability consulting + media, racially-just green jobs, direct action, and always...a little bit of humor. And oh yea, some free stuff too. Keep it fun for everyone.

Letter to Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle: Climate Action Now
Published Saturday, October 27, 2007 by SROmgmt.
This is my letter to Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle. He became the 51st and current mayor on January 1, 2002. He recently launched Seattle Climate Action Now, a grassroots campaign encouraging everyone in the Seattle area to reduce global warming pollution at home, on the road and in their neighborhoods. He also spearheaded the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, an accord signed by over 600 US cities committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I'll be writing and meeting with mayors from many cities throughout 2007-2008 in order to bridge climate change action happening on university and city-level.
