Author Event: "Envisioning Sustainability" with Peter Berg of Planet Drum Foundation
This great green event is over now!
Peter Berg (Director of Planet Drum Foundation) will be reading from his recently published book, Envisioning Sustainability - a collection of essays, manifestos, interviews, presentations and poems.
Come and hear activist Peter Berg share his thoughts and read from his new book! Peter Berg has been a continuing source of innovative ideas for ecological activists for nearly forty years. Both enlightening and surprising, his writings are a primary source for the history of ecological thinking. Berg has been called the "father of bioregionalism" and "a thorn in the side of the environmental movement." His perceptive analyses are always exciting, pushing the limits of the ordinary. Envisioning Sustainability guides the reader through the awakening of both environmentalism and bioregionalism and discusses urban sustainability and ecological policy with vision, candor, and humor.
At the Ecology Center in Berkeley. Free admission. Wheelchair accessible.

Envisioning Sustainability begins in the late 1960's and guides the reader through the awakening of both environmentalism and bioregionalism. The book discusses urban sustainability and ecological policy with vision, candor, and humor. In this collection are seminal essays that defined the bioregional movement and shaped the sustainability revolution including "More Than Just Saving What's Left", "Growing a Life-Place Politics" and "A Metamorphosis for Cities: From Gray to Green" as well as early ecstatic manifestos "Automated Rites of the Obsolete Future?", "Planetedge" and "Borne-Native in the San Francisco Bay Region." The book concludes with Berg's dynamic exhortation for eco-cultural consciousness at the 1996 conference Watershed: Writers, Nature and Community in Washington D. C.
