Sustainable is the minimal standard we should have.
Watch Lalita Booth talk, a straight-forward clear thinking way to look at changing our future for the better. I admit that she covers a lot of subjects, and moves quickly through her talk.
"Lalita Booth, MPP, MBA speaks at the Four Futures for Mountain Farmland Symposium on the inclusive wealth formula as a tool for thinking through land use in the North Carolina mountains."

And I was super surprised to meet her at the SWAN water meeting last Friday. (SWAN, Swannanoa Watershed Action Network). Her input into the discussion was as amazing as this talk, and she took notes and offered to design a chart to cover some of the new ideas that were proposed for investments from carbon credits into sustainable land, farms, watershed drainage, and whatever other investments we could think of.
I hope to see her again. I feel like a kindergartener next to her incredible ways of thinking. Plus she farms nearby using all of these techniques. Plus her father, Ian Booth, was there, who gave me a link to climate.org where a climate change networker can find lots of information. How about a list of worldwide conferences on climate change? I signed up for the newsletter, so you might be getting some of their info here.

A healthy watershed is so important. It is great to hear a speaker like Lalita Booth. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great opportunity to meet her. Needless to say she is an impressive young lady who just has her feet solidly on the ground, and probably dirt under her nails, as she's a farmer too.
DeleteThere are so many knowledgeable speakers, I just wish governments would listen.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very important point. Hey government! This should be the direction you all are taking us in!
DeleteIt is heartening that people like this are working on our most pressing problem.
