MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Dr. David Suzuki on Sustainability within a Generation at the Cascadia Convergence Kick-off: Friday, October 26, 2007 @ 7 pm. Dr. David Suzuki, world-renowned sustainability guru, kicks off this 2-day event to take stock of sustainability progress in the Pacific Northwest. A highly regarded author, mentor and TV personality, his scientific knowledge and ability to communicate with diverse audiences has earned him international acclaim.
October 27 offers a full day of discussions at the Seattle Center Pavilion and NW Rooms to reflect upon the Suzuki Foundation’s framework as it applies to our region. Particular attention will be given to this year’s theme of 'Climate Action and Citizen Engagement.' Attend this community-wide gathering of concerned citizens, businesses, community groups, non-profits and civic leaders to learn about current progress toward sustainability and to make plans for concerted action to accelerate progress over a 5-year timeframe.

Cascadia Convergence 2007 has a theme of ‘Climate Action and Citizen Engagement' in honor of Mayor Greg Nickels' Climate Action Summit and is one of many other sustainability-related events during “Green October” These events combine to make a local, regional and national statement of high visibility - potentially a watershed moment - about the urgency of climate change and sustainability.
