SPEECH TOPIC:
Dodo-Sapiens: how our way of life is killing us and the need for regenerative, bio-based buildings

We are victims of our own stupidity. Seemingly harmless decisions about our buildings made decades ago and now throwing all of our natural systems into decline. While every other technology has made vast improvements (cell phones, computers, automobiles), our buildings continue to be boring, energy-wasting and toxic. In this talk, you’ll tour bold, new ideas for transforming our cities and suburbs into regenerative and restorative places. By learning from Nature, we’ll uncover lessons to apply to our built environment that will save energy, water, resources and be healthier in the process.

This brand new "bullet-point free" talk is presented by the acclaimed speaker and author of "Green Building for Dummies."

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

* Discover how biomimicry (study of nature as designer) can apply to our built environment

* Understand new methods of saving water, restoring aquifers, recycling greywater by copying natural systems

* Uncover hidden opportunities to radically transform our existing cities and suburbs

* Discover how voluntary programs don’t go far enough, and the bold initiatives needed in your city

* Map out an action plan for what you can do to implement these ideas

Rogue Green Clean-Up + Guerilla Art Project

2011-05-30T15:48:00.000-07:00

While out on an urban adventure a couple of weeks ago with my Z urchins and some other kids, I was saddened to see a ton of trash and debris along a 3 block stretch of 4th Street. I decided to do something about it, so organized a Rogue Green clean-up. I had also read about a really cool project in New Orleans done by Candy Chang that week, which inspired me to create something similar, but make it Phoenix specific.
