BRYAN WELCH TO KEYNOTE AT THE SUSTAINABILITY ACTION ANNUAL MEETING

Unity of Lawrence, 900 Madeline Lane, Lawrence KS 66049 (4 blocks west of the Merc)

At our 10th annual Sustainability Action Annual Meeting, our keynote speaker will be Bryan Welch. If you're unsure who he is, Bryan was formerly the publisher of Mother Earth News, and founder of the Mother Earth News Fair. He is now the CEO of B The Change Media, which promotes ethical businesses that operate by a triple bottom line of people-planet-profit, in equal proportion. He also takes interest in Slow Money, Earthships, overpopulation, raising grass-fed cattle, sheep and goats, and ingenious frugality.

We'll start with a pot luck dinner at 6:00pm, followed by Bryan's talk at 7:00pm. We'll then indulge a little, and celebrate our 2016 accomplishments. After a brief business meeting, there will be casual mingling for the remainder of the evening.

Bryan Welch approaches ecological sustainability from many angles, with each bringing a unique solution to the mix. He understands that our ecological footprint can be lightened by agriculture that builds the soil, by preserving healthy ecosystems, by reducing human overpopulation, by renewable energy and resource recycling, by human ingenuity and shared knowledge, and by businesses that operate with these ethics foremost in mind. His address is titled "Business as a Force for Good". Learn more at http://www.sustainabilityaction.net/, and https://www.facebook.com/sustainabilityactionnetwork.
