Speaker: Richard Conlin, President, Seattle City Council and board member of Bainbridge Island's Yes! Magazine
Richard Conlin is a founder of Sustainable Seattle whose passions range from salmon recovery to organizing earth service corps groups for teens. Hear about his city's innovative green initiatives, promoting vibrant neighborhoods, sustainable community, fighting climate change and protecting the environment. Learn about: his groundbreaking Zero Waste Program; the effort to eliminate disposable bags that the chemical industry is fighting; the city's bicycling and pedestrian projects; current work to promote local food; and Seattle's support for green building and sustaining the urban forest.
There will be ample time for Q&A.
