The Pathway to Living Economies
FRIDAY AFTERNOON SESSION: October 16, 2009
4:30pm – 6:00pm
Responding to the challenges of climate change, resource depletion and a failed financial system, a dynamic, fast-growing movement has arisen to transition from an economy dominated by multinationals to local, living economies that produce basic needs at home while working in harmony with nature. Leading lights of this movement share their strategies.
Hosted by: Judy Wicks, co-founder and chair of the nationwide Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE); Michelle Long, BALLE’s executive director; and Jennifer Gray, founder and president of Transition US and a pioneer of the UK’s Transition Towns movement.
Location: B7
