BP and Other Robber Barons: We Reject Your Apology; We Demand Change
John Perkins
Sustainability advocate, global economist, and renowned author
Perkins speaks out about the British Petrolium’s Gulf oil spill and how it is an indicator of how unsustainable our unrelenting pursuit of oil is today. It is a wakeup call that we are finally hearing because it is close to home, though other peoples around the globe have experienced similar devastation for the sake of fossil fuel and oil industry profits.
Admission is free, though pre-registration is requested so that maximum number of attendees can be estimated. This event is hosted by the University of Massachusetts Office of Campus and Community Sustainability. For more information, and to save your seat, call 508-910-6484.
