CONFESSIONS OF AN ECO-SINNER

7:30 pm MONDAY October 20, 2008
Cambridge Forum
3 Church Street
Cambridge, MA

Free and Open to the Public

What is the true environmental cost of living even a modest Western lifestyle? From our morning coffee to use of the computer at work to a beer at the end of the day—how do all of these normal daily activities impact the environment? And, given the far-reaching ecological consequences from this lifestyle, how can we change?

Fred Pearce is a former news editor at New Scientist. Currently its environment and development consultant, he has written for Audubon, Popular Science, Time, the Boston Globe, and Natural History. His books include When the Rivers Run Dry, With Speed and Violence, and Deep Jungle.
