Think & Drink on fossil fuel dependency and green jobs
Think & Drink on Fossil Fuel Dependency and Green Jobs

Given the recent West Virginia coal mine tragedy and Gulf Coast oil spill disaster, Americans are becoming more concerned with fossil fuel dependency and the future of energy. If you want to participate in a discussion on these topics, come to the summer 2010 Think & Drink happy-hour conversation, which brings together environmental historian Thomas Andrews, investigative journalist Rebecca Clarren (both pictured above), and OPB radio host Emily Harris, who will moderate the conversation.

Think & Drink will be held on Thursday, July 8, 2010, at 6:00 at rontoms, 600 E. Burnside, Portland. This event is free and open to the public. Guests must be twenty-one and over.

Commentary

Excited to hear that Green Jobs will be included in this latest Think & Drink. Living wage careers with dignified work for those who need it most have to be a part of the solutions we seek to address both environmentalism and the poverty it is very much connected to.
