NEWS FROM THE WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE Date: Mon, 14 May 2001Some may not be able to attend this event, but we hope that those of you in the greater Washington metro area will be able to take advantage of this unusual opportunity. NEWS ADVISORY FROM THE WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE Friday, May 11, 2001 WORLD WATCH EDITOR GOES INTO THE LION'S DEN By inviting World Watch editor Ed Ayres to speak about environmental sustainability at the US Department of the Interior (DOUI) on May 17, the Clinton administration seems to have made yet another of those last-minute decisions that the Bush administration now has to live with. The promotional materials were printed before the election and the public has been invited, so now the question remains whether any Bush appointees will take the opportunity to hear and learn when Ayres speaks about his book God's Last Offer: Negotiating For A Sustainable Future next Thursday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. It is a sure thing that Ayres won't pull punches at this critical time. He will sort through the jumble of rumor, hyperbole, and corporate propaganda that characterizes too much of today's environmental coverage. Ayres will identify four key threats to Earth and humans: the rise of carbon gas emissions, the rate of biological extinction, unsustainable consumption, and population growth. He will also expose the techniques employed by corporate public relations consultants to mislead and deceive the public, and will suggest possible antidotes. No registration is required for the event, which will take place at the main Interior building, 1849 C St. NW, in the Yates Auditorium. For information call 202-298-DOIU or visit www.doiu.nbc.gov/forum WHO: Ed Ayres, Editor World Watch and author of God's Last Offer WHAT: US Department of the Interior Speaker Series WHERE: Yates Auditorium, main Interior building. 1849 C St. NW Washington DC WHEN: Thursday, May 17, 2001. 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Also visit the Worldwatch website at www.worldwatch.org. |
