First, we head up to Boston to update everyone on this year's GreenFest. Have you been before? If not, see if you can get up this year this year. Starts on Thursday night, Aug 16 and ends that Sunday. In between the days are packed with events as the event works to build a better word. Here's the link to their main page:http://www.bostongreenfest.org/
After that, we introduce you to the Worldwatch Institute and our special guest, Danielle Nierenberg – Senior Researcher, Food and Agriculture Program | Nourishing the Planet Director. Danielle and the Institute have garnered world attention for their work on nourishing the planet, and we'll look at the economic impact of their work tomorrow.
We'll be on from 12-1p, EST, then you can listen to it 24/7 on the Renewable Now network on Blog Talk.
Right after that, we will film five new TV shows in Warwick RI, Busy day. If we miss a blog tomorrow, as we did Monday preparing for this week, we'll be back on Thursday.
Here's more on the Institute:
Mission
Through research and outreach that inspire action, the Worldwatch Institute works to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world that meets human needs. The Institute’s top mission objectives are universal access to renewable energy and nutritious food, expansion of environmentally sound jobs and development, transformation of cultures from consumerism to sustainability, and an early end to population growth through healthy and intentional childbearing.
HISTORY
Founded in 1974 by Lester Brown as an independent research institute devoted to global environmental concerns, Worldwatch was quickly recognized by opinion leaders around the world for its foresight and accessible, fact-based analysis. Now under the leadership of population expert and author Robert Engelman, Worldwatch develops innovative solutions to intractable problems, emphasizing a blend of government leadership, private sector enterprise, and citizen action that can make a sustainable future a reality.
