New York Times Free Lecture in Portland: Nine Billion People, One Planet
One thing is clear: The mindset that sent much of the world into economic, environmental and social crisis is not the mindset that will fix our problems. Andrew Revkin of the New York Times, the worlds leading environment reporter, has great ideas about how we can think fresh, change our mindset, and create a better tomorrow. In his free-to-the-public Portland lecture on November 10, Revkin will talk about the natural and human challenges of supporting a population thats expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, and hell talk about how we can restore certain environmental conditions and create a more resilient future.
