"In his brilliant, essential new book, Friedman takes a fresh and provocative look at two of the biggest challenges we face today: America’s surprising loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11; and the global environmental crisis, which is affecting everything from food to fuel to forests. In this groundbreaking account of where we stand now, he shows us how the solutions to these two big problems are linked--how we can restore the world and revive America at the same time." - Amazon.com Review

Join us this Winter Quarter to discuss these questions as we read and review Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why we need a green revolution and how it can renew America by Thomas Friedman.

The goal of this quarterly “brown bag” seminar is to discuss some of the environmental issues facing the northwest and the world today, through an analysis of current articles and readings. This quarter we will center our discussion on Hot, Flat and Crowded. The seminar may include volunteer work, a field trip, and/or guest lectures.
