News Breaking the carbon addiction
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Thu, Apr 12, 2007 at 10:10 PM
On Saturday, April 14, Emory will host what might be a pretty interesting conference (as conferences go) on the topic of rising gas prices, global warming and the Iraq war.
Even if it's not that interesting, there will be free breakfast and lunch.
Folks with impressive titles (former administrator of the Energy Information Administration, for instance) will discuss ways to stave off climate change and oil addiction. There also will be a slide-show presentation of An Inconvenient Truth and speakers from the Turner Foundation, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
The conference runs from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Emory's Dobbs University Center (in the Winship Ballroom), 605 Asbury Circle. Check out the agenda and register, for free, at www.power-shift.org.
If you can't make it, you alternatively could sell your car and buy either a hybrid or a biodiesel-friendly clunker.
