ROTHBURY Think Tank: Finding Energy Independence
The 2008 ROTHBURY
Think Tank focused on the topic of Finding Energy Independence. Panelists
ranging from a Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist to green business gurus to
environmental journalists and youth activists were joined by members of
Widespread Panic, Michael Franti & Spearhead, STS9, The Crystal Method, and
Four Finger Five – interacting with fans in inspired Q&A sessions.
The goal:
to educate and empower people through an open dialogue regarding solutions to
climate change and sustainable clean energy needs, and to engage the live music
community in this social movement. As a community, we asked ourselves: As this
election year unfolds, what will we demand of our elected leaders? What changes
can we, as individuals, make in our lives that will make a difference? Which
businesses are doing their part through sustainable operations, products, and
services?
"The genius of the United States is not best of most in its executives or
legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or
parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common
people" ~ Walt Witman
