Join us for the second seminar in our 2009 Seeking Sustainable Solutions seminar series...
Climate Change and Water: Local Perspectives on a Global Problem
with Philip Mote and Steve Malloch
Wednesday, March 25th at Town Hall Seattle (1119 Eighth Avenue)
Climate change is heating up our planet. Here in Washington we are beginning to get a glimpse of what the future holds for us – sometimes too much water and at other times, too little water. How do we respond to the prospect of more floods, drought, wildfires, and other catastrophes? This seminar will look at our current situation and put forward community-wide solutions for how we respond to serious issues relating to growth, development, climate, and community. We’ll also look at personal solutions – what you can do in your home and with your lifestyle that can reduce not just your carbon footprint, but also your “water footprint.”
Wine Reception 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
Seminar 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Post Seminar networking 8:00 – 8:30 p.m.

Idea Club March 23rd to discuss the concept of boundary organizations...
The next Idea Club (an informal monthly discussion group) will tackle the topic of boundary organizations (BORGs). How do boundary organizations (organizations that operate at the intersection of science and politics) turn knowledge into action? Are boundary organizations necessary to create societies that are sustainable? Can organizations like Sustainable Path Foundation further progress by acting as a boundary organization? Perhaps by using a systems approach we can begin to examine initial answers to these questions. For more information about Idea Club or to participate in an online discussion about this and other topics, visit the Idea Club Blog. Please RSVP if you plan on joining us for this discussion on Monday, March 23rd from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Sustainable Path office.
