Sustainability by Design: A Subversive Strategy For Transforming Our Consumer Culture

Place: Winchester Public Library - Large Meeting Room
Time: 7:00 - 8:30pm

Join Dr. Ehrenfeld, local author, global thinker, and former Director of the MIT Program on Technology, Business and Environment as he presents a new definition of Sustainability as the possibility that humans and other life will flourish on the Earth forever. In his most recent book, Sustainability by Design, Dr. Ehrenfeld posits that reducing unsustainability, although critical, will not create sustainability. The book is founded upon this new definition: sustainability is the possibility that humans and other life will flourish on Earth forever. There are obstacles to this hopeful vision, however, and overcoming them will require us to transform our behavior, both individually and collectively. The book has been heralded as "one of the most important books of the 21st century."
