In a book about the Northwest, Seattleite Alan Durning wrote, “If this place on earth - the greenest part of the richest society in history - can’t reconcile people and nature, it probably can’t be done. If it can, it will set an example for the world.” Join us to explore some interactions between people and nature in the Pacific Northwest, including the environmental issues surrounding salmon & biodiversity loss, forests, water & air pollution, and urban sprawl.
The goal of this “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 the book “Inside Passage” by Richard Manning. The seminar may include volunteer work, a field trip, and guest lectures.
