Earth 2100 Conference: What's the Plan!?

Young adults gathering to develop their vision and plan for future of Earth

Here is an big opportunity for students in the Washington DC area -- or who can get here.  We feel this could be a mind changing, life changing, and even Earth changing event.

On Saturday Aug. 11 in Arlington, Virginia, a group of young adults is convening an inter-generational "Earth 2100 Conference: What's the Plan!?"  It will be a working conference at which people meet and work in small groups to develop (1) a vision of the Earth young people would like to inherit,  (2) changes young people would like to see made to bring us closer to their vision, and (3) a plan for a larger, more influential conference in 2013.  Summaries of major proposals for change from UN, World Bank, NGOs, etc. are being collected and summarized in advance of the conference. 

Details: August 11, 2012, 10 AM to 4:30 PM.  Location: Auditorium, Central Library, 1015 N Quincy St., Arlington VA 22201, USA.  Cost: Free, including lunch.  (A donation of $30 would be appreciated, but is not required.)  Space is limited, so please register now at http://earth2100conference.eventbrite.com/
