As you may, or may not know, Greg and Connie are both certified presenters for a group called The Climate Project. We just returned from The Climate Project’s North American Summit in Nashville, TN., where we spent 4 days with 500 fellow presenters listening to lectures from individuals like Mr. Al Gore, R.K. Pachauri, IPCC Chair; Don Henry Executive Director, Australian Conservation Foundation (a former guest on this program); Larry Schweiger, CEO, National Wildlife Federation; and Dr. David Suzuki host of PBS’s The Nature of Things. We also took part in several workshops and information sessions centered around Climate Change.
Here is a summary of some of the take-aways from the conference:
Al Gore's Challenge to Repower America
Al Gore delivers a speech challenging our nation to source our energy from 100% carbon free generation within the next 10 years. An ambitious target to be sure. Do we have the cahones?! Definitely worth a look. If you don’t have 27 min there is a highlight reel on YouTube as well here

Some Green Thoughts
Hi Everyone,
Connie and I have been wanting to share some additional content for a while and we’re finally getting around to getting something posted. We plan to post things like excerpts from Connie’s Climate Project presentations, radio appearances, and speaking engagements. These will be a little more stripped-down in terms of the production polish, but we hope they will give you some more useful information and a little more insight into where we’re coming from. Let us know what you think. Thanks.
Greg
