This is the kick off of the Illahee environmental lecture season. Previous years' themes have circled around sustainability, landscape, the environment and energy. Very brainy, very lean forward, definitely not boring. This year's theme, "Money Talks", themes the environment, social evolution and economics together.
Andrew Revkin, author and New York Times environment reporter, speaks on "Oil, Climate, and Money". You will find the audience spans generations; these are Portland's thoughtful dreamers of the future. Sometimes the series needs volunteers, though it may be late. The lectures are viewable in replay in the Illahee offices, including the excellent ones of the past, for free, I believe. http://www.illahee.org/lectures/revkin First Congregational Church, 1126 SW Park Ave 7:30PM $75, 5 lectures or $20 each
