Ithaca College

On Tuesday, October 30th at 7:00PM, as part of the Sustainability Speaker Series, author Greg Pahl will speak on the subject of his latest book, “Power From the People”, in Textor 101.  

Greg Pahl, author of “Power from the People: How to Organize, Finance, and Launch Local Energy Projects”, will describe the big picture view of local energy sustainability from a 21st-century perspective. A founding member of the Vermont Biofuels Association, The ACORN Network, and the Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op, Pahl will offer suggestions and examples of what individuals, farmers, institutions, non-profits, and communities can do to make themselves more energy resilient and otherwise curb their carbon footprint. The strategies and case studies Pahl offers are based on current, available technology (rather than wishful thinking) with a strong emphasis on collaborative community initiatives based on local ownership.

Pahl will sign copies of his book, which will be available for sale. For more information about the author, visit: http://www.chelseagreen.com/authors/greg_pahl/
