Ecology and Spirituality: Can Wonks Alone Save the World?

Ernest (Chick) Callenbach will discuss the role in the struggle for a sustainable future of such imponderables as our relations to the universe and our biotic and social communities. Are our attitudes and emotions more important than policy analyses? Callenbach is the author of the classic Ecotopia and its prequel, Ecotopia Emerging. He also wrote Bring Back the Buffalo: A Sustainable Future for America's Great Plains, and Ecology: A Pocket Guide. For thirty years, he served as editor of the California Natural History Guide series for U.C. Press. In 1958, he founded the critical journal Film Quarterly and edited it through 1991, along with many books on the cinema. Optional dinner at 6:30pm (Adults $7).
